As always the problem is then that people decide to stand everywhere not just any designated areas. I prefer to sit during games, mostly due to the fact my knees tend to ache after a while. |  |

I would prefer to sit, but IF we expand -the North stand being easiest I guess-we could trial this for example in the north east corner? | | | |

That's why it needs to come in, so people who like to sit can sit.
It would improve the atmosphere immeasurably. |  |

We've turned a blind eye in the one stand. So people want to stand, then go in that stand.
People still stand in other areas then whine about stewards trying to get them to sit down... | |

All these problems would diminish - at the moment it's against the law.
It's only because of weight of numbers people are getting away with it. | |

Enough room for you to lie down if you want to in your stadium. |  |

Because you have constant standing in certain areas in every stadium in the PL. it would be replacing unsafe standing with safe standing. No brainer to me. |  | | |

I'm afraid that's incorrect mate, there is no 'law' regards standing in all seater grounds.
EDIT - I've had a few PM's. The law states the football ground supplies you with a seat at premier league and championship grounds, there is no law that states you have to sit in it. So don't be fooled in to thinking you can be arrested for not sitting down. Logical when you think about it. You can be ejected from the ground but not arrested or convicted. The issue of persistent standing is an offence but the club are at fault for this not you. 👠[Post edited 6 Jun 2016 15:15]

Just in time for Old Firm games returning to Scottish league... What could go wrong eh?
I'm in favour of standing areas btw, but of all the clubs to trial it... Celtic? |  | | |

Not rocket science.. seating keeps groups quite restricted in the stands. Put a 1000 or so lads together in a standing environment will improve the atmosphere at grounds but also add an edge especially in certain fixtures. | | | |

'add an edge'
Excellent that's what football needs. Look I don't want the return of hooliganism but the balance seems to be shifting too far the other way. When pretty much every ground the away fans are the loudest something is very wrong. | |

Given that those away fans are also in seats it's obviously not that though is it. | | | |

The away fans will generally be more of the 'hard core' element, so will be standing/singing more. To drown out home support with 1/10 of the numbers means there's obviously something wrong. |  |

Umm, so are the home fans nearest them.
Still could hear a pin drop a lot of the time.
Away fans tend to be louder because everyone's on a day out, drinking with mates etc not because of seats. | | | |

Exactly - more 'hard core', day out, drinking more etc. not because they're standing or sitting. Ours stand as well in the North East. [Post edited 6 Jun 2016 16:25]

So are you seriously saying that if they sat down, it wouldn't limit the atmosphere? | |

No. I'm saying that both home and away stand up so that's not what causes the difference in noise between the two.
Don't extrapolate. | | | |

I like you.
The reality is though that although some Home fans stand at present it's sporadic and there will be different people in those areas and not like the old days where people could group more easily.
Safe standing areas would mean that stewards would no longer get in the way, it would become a focal heartbeat of the ground unlike now where there's a corner where some people try but in reality it's pretty poor. Have a clearly defined area for singers and the rest can sit down tap their foot, eat a hot dog play with their iPhone (jeez) sleep, sh1t (well maybe not sh1t) whatever. | |
