Not great but they were there for a reason and spaced appropriately too. My first away was Trevor Francis debut at Stoke.

I started that match leaning on one of the barriers. After the first goal I moved under it and stood with my back to it. Uncomfortable but unlikely to be dangerous.
 
I just hope they do this sensibly now and allow for greater attendances in these sections.
 
The worrying thing about the comments from this Chief Constable is he will have the ear of the government, (via his association)
35 years is it since Hillsborough and the cops are still banging on about drinking in the stand.
Rugby, not a problem they can drink to excess even though they puke down a 6 year olds back and run on the pitch to stop Wales scoring (both last Wales game) but football is full, full I tell you of coke snorting beer drinking thugs.

The man is a dinosaur who has no place commenting on modern football
 
I doubt very much he’d be able to stand for 90 minutes looking at him.

What an absolute croc of sh*te! (read below)

"My position from the outset has been: is it actually possible to introduce standing and ground and do it safely? Yes, of course," said Cheshire Police Chief Constable Mark Roberts.

"What we asked was that certain measures come along with it to minimise the risks."

Roberts' concerns include people moving into the areas from other parts of the stadium and a lack of focused CCTV to monitor safe standing areas.

He is also worried by how standing areas could change the culture inside stadiums in the longer term.

"Where the tendency is to get people to stand will have a limiting factor on families," said Roberts.

"Perhaps fewer females might want to stand in that area; certainly people with disabilities, older people. So you start to get a crowd that is predominantly maybe 16-55 male.

"There is a threat that you get these areas that are almost no-go areas, which obviously would lead to a deterioration in behaviour.

Ask him what the Merseyside Police were doing when 16-55 year old male Liverpool fans were creating no-go areas, standing on the roofs of Merseyside Police vans, whilst attacking City's coach with missiles, while families, females, and kids watched on in the crowd.

The Merseyside police will search through their records to reply to that question and will find no record of it happening so nothing to see here......
