Safe standing 10:53 - May 5 with 2596 views | Highjack | To be introduced by Celtic next season based on the German model of rail seating for 2600 fans. Could we follow suit and get some much needed atmosphere back into football? | |

Then you are risking your lives as standing up on your feet and legs whilst watching football is allegedly a very dangerous thing to do. It is almost as life threatening as drinking a beer whilst simultaneously being within a direct line of sight of a football pitch. If it's a rugby pitch it's completely safe as we all know but you take the risk of death if you do it at the football. Life is precious. Don't risk it by standing on your feet. | |

Thanks for the warning HJ. With the added potential danger of being hit by the ball, life threatening according to Sir Alex, I seem to be taking my life in my hands. Oh well, as a number of thrill seekers say before meeting an untimely demise, "it's one life, live it" | |

You forget as well that an gesture or passionate shouting may result in a yellow coated facsisto threatening to throw you out - because that's the only tool they have. Time to make a stand .... | |

I'm fed up of having to leave all my guns at the turnstiles every week because there's a sign that says "no guns". We're living in a nanny state. | |

Safe standing on 10:52 - May 6 with 1509 views | blueytheblue | If standing is reintroduced then it needs to be kept to specific areas only. I prefer sitting - these days my knees tend to ache after a while of standing up, part of the process of getting old I guess. | |

With most Cardiff fans it's caused by all the years of being on their knees giving blowjobs to the likes of Sam hammam. | |

Safe standing on 13:29 - May 6 with 1386 views | airedale | Basically though, Celtic are replacing unsafe standing with safe standing, and the same should be done at all clubs, whatever their division. People should finally admit that they aren't going to stop some supporters standing. | | | |

Safe standing on 13:37 - May 6 with 1373 views | pencoedjack | The safe standing increases capacity of current stadium or these 'railway seats' are just locked up and you just stand in front of seat ? | | | |

You get strapped in upright so you don't fall over because standing is so dangerous. | |

Safe standing on 13:50 - May 6 with 1353 views | airedale | The ironic thing is, is that [constant] standing in an all-seater stadium can be risky if someone falls and causes a 'domino' effect. Sort it out guys and get safe standing in. | | | |

This of course is not true because of the law that banned standing areas in top-flight football in England. | | | |

Even if it was the Premier League would have to accept it before we could introduce it. We play in an English league so we abide by their rules. | |

It would look good on the tv though if a 20000 strong Mexican wave of falling people went around the stadium. | |

Standing in the front row of the NE upper during a game is very dangerous according to the club/stewards ..... I have many email correspondence between myself & the club discussing this. Its OK to fall walking to/from your seat but not during the game apparently. | | | |
