Safe Standing: Rail Seating in South Stand

[Jam Tomorrow]

Theyre just normal seats like every other in the ground. Only difference is the rail. Nothing to lock or unlock.

i stand corrected, said the man in the orthopaedic shoes.
never been in South lower and never will.

To be like Germany you have to re profile the steps in the stand, and that's not going to happen.

Spurs built a stand with safe standing in mind and got this

On continent it's often this

The shallow double step makes the difference

They could have put a proper curve on the top rail. Looks cheap using straight pipe for the 'Curve'.

I suspect the demand for standing throughout games is fairly limited after years of it not being allowed (it still isn’t by law in the PL).

Someone posted a few days ago about their wish for it to be spread around the stadium and including SS3. As a SS3 SC holder I’d say no thanks as I’m perfectly happy with the current set up as I have a great view sat down and standing generally is very limited (crucial parts of big games).

The club would surely need to canvass supporters if they were thinking of introducing more rail seating? What about those who have suddenly found out they are in rail seating but don’t want to be?

Those who want to stand and make an atmosphere go in the safe standing section, those who don’t can move. Our singers are all over the place at the Etihad, one big standing section is a chance to bring them all together.

I don’t have a problem with a safe standing area being created for those who want to stand up throughout the game. However, what about those in seats that have been converted into rail seats who don’t wish to stand? Have the club offered them a move to similar seats elsewhere?

If my part of SS3 had rail seats installed I’d probably sack it as I don’t want to move again.

Odd the club haven’t communicated this change at all

The rail seating atm is where people stood anyway so there shouldn’t have been a problem and if people were complaining about standing then they shouldn’t have been in there in the first place. I wouldn’t worry, I doubt they’ll put rail seating in SS3.

No one stood in 121, also 119 no one stood until 10 years ago until new people came and stood at the front and the club finally gave up on it.

Yes very odd. Some people getting to their seats looked shocked they had the barriers in front of them
