    If fan surveys / consultation/ arrangements / construction have to take place I would imagine it would commence the following season 24/25?

    But how did you know he'd posted that if he was on ignore?

    One for Wagatha Christie maybe?

    Wouldn't you just remove seats and replace them with rails keeping the capacity the same?

    So is this for next season? And if so what about those that bought tickets there especially after the ticket office said they knew nothing about it

    I thought same until I saw this. Not sure how the example on the link converts back to seating, my understanding was that it was an area that could be used for either standing or seating

    This system would probably just see the current seats removed and new ‘standing’ ones inserted. The only potential loss would be on width, as these could be slightly wider than the current seats.

    Why is it?
    A few clubs have offered to trial safe standing inc WBA, Wolves and Palace.
    Personally, think it will only be a matter of time.

    I believe a statement was made by the government quite recently saying they would not allow safe standing, I'll try and find a link.

    I am for safe standing seems to work at Celtic. What does annoy me is the amount of premiership fans you see standing with complete disregard to any government safe standing rule.

    You say it is working at Celtic but since they introduced it they have had to close the area a few times due to behaviour issues with those in the area

    That statement was before the petition reached the 100k threshold, hence triggering a possible forthcoming parliamentary debate.

    Quote from today's BBC article :

    Sports Minister Tracey Crouch said she was "grateful" for fans "expressing their views on this issue".

    "This will now give me the opportunity to discuss at length the nuances and complexities of sports ground safety in Parliament, if and when the Petitions Committee agree to it being debated," she added.

    Agree, but not sure how Premiership clubs could make them sit down, a difficult one.

    Hadn't, heard that, the Liverpool fans seemed to think it was a good idea when they went to visit it.
