    Return of the standing stadium

    Seems to be a push for standing areas in OS stadiums after a few years of all seaters.

    Football League clubs consulted on return of standing

    Good idea or not?

    Does it mean jack here? not really, Hunter stade is a recreation ground eg north and south hills.

    Pros: Would help to stop the sitdown crowd whinging in certain areas and could be a better atmosphere at larger aways, dont trip over chairs if we score, and i like it

    Cons: its straya so sit and shuddup ya face

    I can't really see it happening tbh escpially if grounds have concerts. I'll be honest I needed to sit down on several occasions last Sunday as I was worn out from the night before.

    The way things are done now is good enough. I'm glad we have foldaway chairs not ones like Sydney football stadium.

    Rail seats allow for concerts. Some can even be removed all together for use of the concrete terracing as stage area and the concert crowd can go the pitch.

    It's more about the flip up/down seats that are flush with the rail.... And the rail a toning as anti surge barriers.

    Many are starting to see the current rail seat design as safer than current seating arrangements.
