Wikipedia somehow shows our old ground, which is currently being revamped as it was classed as "****ty" in a recent "African Champions league" game. I'd stay off google and listen to a local like me.

a1ex2001 Posted 21 May, 2018 Share Posted 21 May, 2018 Safe standing is never going to happen the government are not interested in the debate and the clubs won't push it was it won't increase capacity so revenue won't go up. There is this weird idea that Hillsborough was caused by the fact fans standing and not by the 12ft high fences between the fans and the pitch, modern safe standing bares no resemblance to the old terraces every fan would still have a ticket spot so over crowding couldn't happen and no ground in the country has had fences in 20 years.

Matthew Le God Posted 21 May, 2018 Share Posted 21 May, 2018 What would happen “if” they got to Championship? Would have to put seating in? Yes, they would be given two years. But another hole in the law is Brentford have been excused putting seats in the two year timeframe as they are moving to a new stadium. It is a very inconsistent law.

Exeter City for example are allowed to legally have this... It's a well known fact that if that terrace was full in the Championship it would be a death trap, but if it was full in League One then it's safe as houses. Same with Brentford, once you announce you're moving to a new stadium in a few years time, your terracing instantly becomes safer. Well known factamondo.

Kenilworthy Posted 21 May, 2018 Share Posted 21 May, 2018 The thing is that those in authority simply will not acknowledge the absurdity of their legislation. When Fulham came up in 2001/2 was I think the last season I stood on a terrace in the Premier League. Later that season Rupert invited someone from the FA to one of his forums to talk about safety issues. So I put the question - was I in danger when I stood at Craven Cottage? "No" came the reply. So I said "are you admitting that standing can be safe?". "No" came the reply - seating is safe, standing is not. They just refused to accept the contradiction they have created.
