Safe Standing: Rail Seating in South Stand

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Brilliant news! One more step to getting an all standing home end

We all stand up in 111 anyway.

Bloody great news in the short term.

Long term, I hope that this is just a stop-gap for much bigger plans because it would be very underwhelming if this would be the only rail seating we have.

Doubt it will be, but plans to extend it will probably come later, maybe with extension plans, especially as we still have no idea when the government will give permission for them to be used for standing.At least we’ll be ready to take part in any trials going forward.

Presumably this is just City getting ready for when safe standing is permitted.

Won't really affect me apart form the odd cup game as I've moved to SS3 but I don't really get the whole point of rail seatinf and the advantage of that compared to being allowed to stand in front of your seat as SS1 are currently.

BTW - I'm not moaning, it won't really affect rme either way so I don't care. I just don't get it.

We all stand up in 111 anyway.

And 109 that's where us proper (ageing) rebels stand.

It's a step in the right direction but not earth shattering for 85+% of match going fans.

Unless we knock the price down I'll be staying in the 315 gods but would love to stand all game again as I came from 117 but moved due to cost 'upstairs'

its not earth shattering for 100% of fans as safe standing is still not allowed and might not be allowed for the foreseeable future

Entire first tier, safe standing please.

 

[Winchester]

Hahahah yeah its only good news if you sit in the south stand.

I do but top tier

Cheers PB! Great news.

Read the wording in the press release. Very clever by the club. Work it out.
