You aren't listening to the point though Tom, standing is growing and becoming more of a problem and people who have sat where they sat for years perfectly happily, are now having to complain because of standing where people used to sit.
I've already said in this thread, if you were new in, bought a seat at the back of the holte then you would have to question your choice.
Thing is though, for the sake of this debate, it isn't actually a choice anyway. It is an all seater stadium.
So, sod everyone as long as 'you' are happy then?
Ive also said in one of my other comments that at away games it’s unfair that everyone stands and this seems to be the expected norm. There are obviously people from various areas of Villa Park where they sit and stand that go to away games and they have to stand regardless. This is where the new legislation needs bringing in because as in Germany you could have 50% standing and 50% seating and at least then you have the choice, if you can’t get a standing ticket then tough you’ll have to sit and personally I’d accept that. I’ve sat at plenty of grounds and have no problem with it but I prefer to stand where possible. In L8 i get to stand and everyone around me does happily too, I can’t even recall ever seeing stewards either so no one is making us sit but they’d have a hard time trying anyway.
I can’t speak for other areas of the ground though, if someone has a problem with wherever their seat is then they need to bring it up with the club. Nothing will get done in silence.
