Standing or sitting at matches.......??

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Whats your view's?

Im sure there is alot on here that were around in the days of standing and now have to go to matches and sit??

I like standing at matches of all kinds

Has football goer's in England matured enough to have standing back in some area's of grounds in England?

Im tall so its not easy for me at anfield, no legs space. Standing is required

I like sitting. I'm lazy as **** and 105 mins on my feet counts as exercise.

Was at Scotland V Ukraine and we were standing for the whole 90, no steward even tried to make us sit down. Did give me a sore back though!

well I never went to footy when it was just standing, but most of the games I've been I've only ever sat down when it wasnt game time (ie just before the match and half time)
and you're right, I get a sore back! Think it's only when I've been in the Anny road end have I ever sat down.

I want THE CHOICE whether to stand or sit.

Loads of fans want to stand, loads are happy sitting down.

the glove will be along any minute now to make sure your all sitting

It's a question of safety, therefore it has to be sitting.

Anyone who has stood in a packed kop surrounded by kopites will tell you that absolutely nothing compares. There was nothing like it and Anfield has never been the same since it became all seated. I will cherish my days on the kop till the day I die.

However, after Hillsborough, safety has to come first...

Standing IS safe though.

im torn.....another terrible event like hillsborough should never ever happen but I do think that standing areas could be re-introduced....say have an area in which only adults can use as an allocated standing area, im all for at least trialling that option.

Standing works fine in Germany, so there's proof it can easily work safely.

There's always a risk, but there's risk of things going wrong with seating too.

It confuses me that people now think Hillsborough was caused by standing. Whislt not denying it contributed to the number of injuries and deaths, it wasn't the cause.

No but if people had been sat down there wouldn't have been a crush would there?
