    If rails were erected, which would be necessary for standing, then I anticipate that they would be about 60 mm wide.

    What I have suggested before, about the current rows being to narrow, would have to be addressed.

    The current concrete would have to be ripped up. Deeper and taller rows would then have to be constructed. I think that in the lower blocks of the Main Stand/Kop, at least three rows would be lost.

    If the seats were wider, then that would also have implications for the number of seats in a row, which are likely to have to be reduced.

    Perhaps someone who knows more precisely the dimensions necessary and can compare them with the current configuration and dimensions could comment.

    Being a pauper ;) in the lower stand, then I guess ours will be about 450 mm.

    In my block there appear to be 28 seats per row. So 28X450 = 12,600 then divide 12,600 by the new standing seats @ 500 mm = 25.2 So three seats about 3 lost per row.

    That equates to about 11% reduction. Add onto that a loss in rows, so somewhere over 15% reduction if not more.

    So in Block B of the Kop Lower good bye to your seat if your are in 40-42. Block C would lose 67-69. Block D 94-96, Block E 121-123, Block F 146-147 and Block A (which is not a standard pattern) seats 12.

    I think that the whole Rows of V & W may go and potentially EE and above.

    This is my estimate rather than any hard and fast result of Safe Standing ‘remodelling.

    It is not a simple job of ‘putting’ rails in front of the seats as suggested by some!

    Plus the cost of doing the work would mean the prices in those areas would need to increase even more to balance the reduced income and increased expenditure

    If it is Westminster Hall which is likely as it is a Monday then it is pointless and meaningless.

    It currently works for Celtic, their atmosphere / safe standing section is in the lower corner of their ground, which is similar to our lower NW Corner.

    Not if it's an all seater stadium. It is currently only legal for those clubs who have terraced sections and/or stands. Those who are all seater would have to implement the new rail seats in the same way the EPL and Championship clubs are having to do.

    Agreed. I'm not suggesting it should happen, it's just something I'd like to see.

    and according to the rules you have to stay in your allocated 'seat' and they are designed to be directly behind each other not offset

    Perhaps those that wanted to do it, could form some sort of club and actually fund it.

    If Bingley Bantams could pay towards refurbishing one of the suites and crowd funding pay for the scoreboard/changing rooms, then perhaps raise some money to pay for it!

    The ‘atmosphere’ group are the obvious candidates.

    Now whether they could get their act together remains to be seen.

    Perhaps they could get a sponsor to help fund it.

    It was realy tongue in cheek, as yourself any monies available should go on team strengthening.

    I'd rather they changed the whole ground to safe standing than spend any more money on the garbage that we've been bringing in lately.
