SPL to trial safe standing areas

[Tyrant]

If every fucker who wanted to stand got a season ticket in one part of the ground and stood up there'd be fuck all anyone could do. See old firm support at Pittodrie. We don't need to be told we can do it. With people power we can just do it. Fuck (what) the police (say).

There's always one walloper who disagrees with a good idea:

He said basically the same thing on sportsound a couple of weeks back. I dont like his 'seating was brought in because of Heysel & Hillsbrough etc.

Stadium seating was brought in as a short sighted panic response to horrific incidents at stadiums which were death traps in the first place. Hillsbrough nearly happened the season before in the tottenham vs Wolves semi final but no one thought 'hang on a minute here...what if'. If was bad organisation and policing that started the crush and the perimeter fences which were locked that finished it off.

If seating had been brought in for that reason then why was it only enforced in the premier leagues. Are the fans of clubs in the lower divisions expendable?

 

As I see it he has a chip on his shoulder for being a short arse wee cunt. If you dont like the terracing chick then get your free ticket in the seated area because there will always be one for the families, corporate wanks etc. Then you can write another article about how you didnt get a free ticket to listen to young kids screaming etc

Agree

Although you could have saved time by saying Chick Young is a cunt

[dave_min]

Chick Young is a cunt.

 

I read it earlier on, and he makes a good point about how standing shouldn't be allwed becuase somebody might piss on you.

 

Cunt.
