Safe Standing: Rail Seating in South Stand

[There is a Light]

What were people expecting, the whole ground to be fully terraced?

It wouldn’t work anywhere else IMO, people would be moaning because they want to sit down!

Entire first tier, safe standing please.

Good luck with converting the Tunnel Club!

As long as they leave the CBL1 as seating I’m very pleased for the folk who want to stand (wish I was young enough to go back to those days). It’s great news that we are at the forefront but please don’t get uptight about the ones who, whilst still making a lot of noise and singing, want to be able to sit down. :-)

Good luck with converting the Tunnel Club!

And good luck with converting the CBL1 rowA as well!!!

See they’ve already started ^

@There is a light Yes we’ve started because our views are just as valid as anyone else’s. :-)



If you read my first post you will see that I am pleased for the standing lobby. :-)

The whole lower south stand should be safe standing and move the away support elsewhere (family stand maybe). Would be so much better but it’s a good start

I know I’m like a stuck record but significant change in the Etihad stadium atmosphere will only come when the two singing areas are brought together.

Correct

City need to decide what they're doing with the stadium for the longer term. Where the Family Stand goes, where the single, contiguous singing section should be, where the away fans go, how far round the ground they're going to install rail seating, rather than pissing about here and there, shifting odd blocks or 1,000 seats. Just do it.

This is spot on

There’s only singing in a couple of blocks of South Stand Level 1 on a regular basis.

I’ve noticed this thread is very quiet compared with posters who’ve been telling us for years that the Etihad will be rocking once rail seating is introduced. Maybe some other posters are gutted that City Matters have achieved this.
