Again why should it be cheaper.I would imagine it will cost a fair bit to upgrade any part of the ground to safe standing.
Yes you are correct in that there will be a cost involved (unless a new stand or ground is being built).
If the standing end is being re-designed, you can increase the capacity by 80%. The FSF worked out it would be a one off cost of £80 per fan in that area to pay for the new design. I'm sure there wouldnt be many of those fans objecting to their reduced season ticket price having the £80 added on for the first season and then it's all paid for. With the £80 added on, it should still be cheaper than the current seat they are paying to stand in front of.
Well it wouldnt be an £80 increase..... just say (only an example) the price from seats to standing was £150 less (a number plucked from no where) - then you pay an additional £80.... so still a reduction of £70 for one season only.
