Am I missing something or would the poles not get in the view of the person behind them when sat?
No, unless you are a child/vertically challenged but your view would be blocked anyway in this case if an adult was sat infront of you with no Rail there.
Rail seating is really the future.
I can't believe how long I've been discussing this sort of issue for now.
I fallen at Villa park on sunday myself, was celebrating and fell onto a small child.
This is far more dangerous.
Rail-Standing allows fans to stand safely, with the rail in front protecting the person in front of the rail.
The seats are still there for when needed.
Also someone made a comment about it being ok to stand at the concerts in the stadium but not for football because there are no rival fans?
I go to concerts/gigs and I've seen more violence amongst music goers than I have football fans in the past 10/15 years.
I have felt alot more safer watching football than I ever have at say the recent heaton park concerts, where I might add - I was stood on my feet for 6hrs.
Rail Standing, We want it City!! be pioneers and introduce it in the English game.
Bring it into certain sections of the stadium, where fans wish to stand such as 118/117/111/110/109
