Rather an irrelevant poll, what has ever been changed for the benefit of fans since we have been at the Kass......[/quote] Easy, Tim now has a decent selection of ciders at the Priory!!!! I know, rather an irrelevant answer, but I definately see it as a benefit ;D ER, is that a yes for seating, K?

Sorry Vulcan, very good point though, Tim has made more changes for the benefit of fans than the club has.

No standing in the seats at Man CityManchester City have decided to punish Manchester United's supporters for failing to comply with safety regulations during last season's derby matches at Eastlands by reducing their ticket allocation for when the two rivals renew hostilities next month. City are withholding 10% of the usual 2,846 allocation after complaints of persistent standing in the away enclosure when United beat them 1-0 in the league in April. There were also problems in the Carling Cup semi-final in January and, looking ahead to the game on 10 November, City have decided to close off the front two rows of seats to demonstrate they will not tolerate these repeated breaches. Similar complaints against United's supporters have already led to reduced ticket allocations for their away games against Sunderland and Bolton Wanderers this season and City and a number of other clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, have taken similar action against them in previous years. United have been trying to spread the message to their away fans that they need to adhere to the rules and they will not take issue with City's stance.

yes
I think the last game where they actually got us to sit down was Mansfield away 2 years ago, or perhaps Gateshead where it was a nice day in the sun with seats with lots of legroom.

I'm amazed at people just replying "no". Why? Surely, if you like to sit down at the football, the only item on a list of pros and cons of Safe Standing is "nobody is standing in my view".
Unless there is also "I hold a grudge against people standing in my view". Which I find pretty likely given some of the pettiness you see on here.
That's a yes from me, by the way.

How about a national stand at football day? Where at every ground in the country, for the first 10 minutes of the game, no one sits down to show their support for a return to terracing?

yes. Be interested to know why some of the people saying no are against it as well, on all the thread's no one who is against the return of standing has given a decent argument why.

It will never happen.......thats a no from me! You have more chance of someone growing yellow grass for us to play on than have a standing area anywhere in the ground! Yellow grass? You could be onto something there Ramon. Its a Yes from me, though I doubt it will ever happen.

Someone told me no and i asked why, and they said, Hillsbrough. My reply was, well they died cause they were caged in, so why not ban faences, but allow terracing. Safe terracing very possible

Safe terracing very possible Of all the contributing factors of the 96 deaths at Hillsborough standing was just a tiny one behind terrible policing/stewarding, dreadful organisation, decrepit facilities and treating football fans worse than animals. If you remove these standing at a football match is perfectly safe, most of us will stand at some point at a game away this season with no trouble at all. Its a bit weird that loads of fans all over this country and Europe this weekend will be on the terraces, and millions have in the 20 years since Hillsborough with no problems, yet some people still try to blame standing up for the deaths of those poor 96 fans, rather than the criminal negligence and hateful attitude of those in authority to football fans 20 years back. Hillsborough - one of the greatest cover ups of the 20th century?

Part of me is now slowly thinking that I may be against this. However thats only due to the fact i'm 5"4. What chance will I have to see? I'll stand at the front - thats fine, but all the singers will want to be near the back right? I don't really wanna be left out because of my height.
