That's before the MD gets a few "advisors" in and before awarding the contract to Mr Shelf and Bob's Safe Standing emporium Ltd. , think you can safely treble that figure before somebody remembers to check it

[Stuart]

Well, what's a seat but a fold-away shelf?

Good point, Perth.

Politics will stop this and its a joke, as there is no logical reason not to bring it back..

Hated the switch to all seater stadiums, it ripped the heart out of stadium atmospheres.

That said, now Im an old fart with dodgy knees I prefer to sit. Kills me at away games when everyone stands all game

It would be great to see the whole of the BBE lower converted to a standing terrace,seats ripped out and crash barriers installed along it's full length.Would be quite a large terrace probably holding as many,if not more, than the old BBE...

Yes I'm getting nostalgic now!

It was a far more sociable enjoyable experience back in the day stood with all your mates

This would knock some hole in Derek's financial strategy on the chair front.

Haha. Explains the negative vibes completely, Bryan.
