Union FS Posted 23 June 2017 Share Posted 23 June 2017 Stand up if you love Leicester. With the news coming out this week that the Premier League have written to all 20 clubs gauging their feelings towards the introduction of 'Safe Standing' areas into stadiums. The League is keen to find out whether clubs would be willing to pilot 'Safe Standing' sections. We believe this is the perfect time for us as a fan base to contact the club urging them to complete the leagues questionnaire and become one of the torchbearers of bringing 'safe standing' to the league. Safe Standing areas around Europe are noted for the impressive noise they generate. Leicester need only look just North of the border to see what a roaring success safe standing via rail-seating has been at Celtic's 'Celtic Park'. To ensure our club moves forward as one of the torchbearers, we would encourage anyone who would be interested in seeing rail seating at Filbert way to get in touch with the club directly via [email protected] to express your thoughts.

They've always been on board, LCFC have historically more reserved (in public at least) so it's even more important that people who are interested in seeing rail seating at the KP get in touch with them to try and influence their decision!

Voll Blau Posted 23 June 2017 Share Posted 23 June 2017 Something that would benefit all City fans, regardless of whether they stand or sit. Hope plenty get in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicesterlad1989 Posted 23 June 2017 Share Posted 23 June 2017 Would it not be easier to have some form of a petition we could all sign and then present it to the club? Surely that's better than inundating the club with thousands of emails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 23 June 2017 Share Posted 23 June 2017 Would be interesting to see where they'd add safe standing. My guess would be L1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 23 June 2017 Share Posted 23 June 2017 They should just do it. I'm all for safe standing. However, if they do, can those who want to stand, go into the safe standing area and stop being fookin selfish by standing directly in front of people who want to sit.

The club would need to be very careful to make sure demand didn't outstrip supply, as I could imagine the numbers of people wanting to stand at home games would actually increase if the ability to officially do so was brought in.

I agree. That was pretty much my first thought. There are far more people wanting to stand than you'd imagine, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, this is LCFC we're talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, this is LCFC we're talking about... I think you'd be spot on. The safe standing area would be small and full of the spotty teenagers. It would be overly subscribed, leading to those who WERENT able to get a place in the safe standing area, having the hump, and arguing 'if they can stand, so can we', right in front of people who are perfectly happy sitting. You can just see it... It must be done with care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 23 June 2017 Share Posted 23 June 2017 E-mail sent. This could finally be it. The most positive noise I've heard from the PL on the matter yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 23 June 2017 Share Posted 23 June 2017 I have always believed it should be marketed slightly different. It should be seen more as a 'Pro Choice' thing. As it stands, people see safe standing and think they want to rip my seat out. It's about giving people who want to make noise and jump up and down an opportunity to do that outside of a seating position. Similarly, a person who wants to sit avoids having their view blocked. Everyone wins. Be great to see away ends with half and half like Germany. Enjoyable for everyone - like unreserved seating could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFCtotheprem Posted 23 June 2017 Share Posted 23 June 2017 Difficult where to put it though? If it's put in the kop many near the away fans that stand won't move because they like the side view and the banter with away fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way no one's view gets blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vestan Pance Posted 23 June 2017 Share Posted 23 June 2017 Great news and I hope it comes to something. Finding a place to put it and moving people at the King Power could be a problem as we seem to have some of the most obstinate fans in the country.
