Feel very strongly about this, as things currently stand it’s ridiculous. Everywhere I’ve had a season ticket I’ve stood and every away game I’ve stood, when things get a bit mad like after a goal it can be pretty unsafe with people falling over each other and into the rows in front, it can hurt! Stick some rails in between and problem solved (Plus I’d love something to lean on), then it becomes an actual standing area where hopefully people will go and make some noise too like at Celtic. At Celtic it’s very well controlled, you can’t access the standing area without a standing ticket even if there are empty ‘seats’. You’ll then have the choice to stand or sit, you won’t have any problems with the man or woman in front standing when you want to sit because you’ll buy your ticket elsewhere, the same would apply at away games too. At Dortmund the lower away is standing and the upper is sitting, same at Leverkusen and more in Germany.
Would love to see some kind of protest around this decision as the statement she gave after was nothing short of utter b*****ks! Signed the petition.
