    A petition for safe standing has reached 100,000 signatures in two weeks, enough to trigger a government debate.

    Who would like to see safe standing at city?

    If so, which stand/ section would you prefer to be converted to rail seating?

    My choice would be lower kop.

    (wasn't sure which section to post so any MODS feel free to move to city section)

    I’ll give my usual response. Would those that want it happily pay the cost of installing it via higher ticket price?

    Couldn't care less either way, it won't make any difference to the atmosphere which has been sanitised to death in this country.

    It’s a 100% yes for me.

    Make the lower tier of The Kop into a safe standing area. I think there are currently areas for wheelchair users in the top of the lower tier of the Kop, so just make sure people in that area are still able to see while making the area below into standing.

    I have found that when this question has been brought up before, people have had fears of going back to the terracing of the 1980s, but safe standing is not like that at all. Every ticket is allocated to a specific seat which you can stand up in front of.

    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.

    Yes only had to goggle "government safe standing" and it gave a similar link to West Brom.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43701400

    Sports minister Tracey Crouch says there are no plans to change the all-seater policy at football stadiums.

    This is an interesting comment : The standing positions would have been offered to both home and away supporters, I thought it would just be available (if granted) to home fans.

    Plenty of places left to stand and watch football if that's your thing.

    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.
