Safe Standing at the King Power Stadium

[Foxes_Trust]

It’s coming!

 

With the publication by LCFC of the minutes of the Fans Advisory Board meeting on 16 October 2024 we can now let you have more information about the plans that aim to have safe standing at the King Power Stadium for the start of the 2025/26 season.

 

Safe Standing at the King Power Stadium – Foxes Trust

[Trekerz]

Option 1 of installing in the whole KOP and offer fans who currently sit there a discount or benefit if they would like to move to another part of the ground HAS TO BE THE CALL. Would truly make me excited to go to a game again if we had a whole stand behind the goal standing

Keeping the current seats in place seems like an oversight to me. 

 

They all need replacing anyway 

[LFEFox23]

Option 1 for me!

 

Lets get some atmosphere going!!!

[adam]

It should be option 1 but there is no chance the club will want to do that and upset the happy clappers.  It has to be behind the goal not stuck in a corner of the stadium.

[Fox92]

Safe standing across the whole Kop has always been my choice.

It is intended that the type of safe standing will be barriers placed in front of existing seats

Booo.

 

But at least things have progressed, hope we don't get option 3.

[bmt]

Can't wait for this to get blocked by fans who won't move

[Trekerz]

Were these options presented by the club or was it the options presented by FT?

Presented to the club by UFS and the Trust.

I would imagine club led / heavily influenced towards minimum outlay / effort with a lip service to option 1

[StanSP]

Has to be option 1.

 

 

[Skidmark]

Option 1 - I'd relocate over there. 

[Haywood_6]

Option 1 for sure.

[Cameron Davidson]

Replicate what Southampton have done. Whole end. 

[SemperEadem]

As long as the roll it is well thought out and is a complete blank slate where all have to choose to be in there.

We don't have enough participants to do that imo

I for one would hope (if this does happen) that the UFS would get a more prominent position.

Option 2 could lend itself to something like the set up they have at Arminia Bielefeld, would like that.

[Nolucklcfc]

You would hope option 1, especially if there isn’t going to be safe standing in L1 or P1, to then allow those fans into safe standing areas. Last thing we want is people not being able to get into safe standing areas because there isn’t enough space. I worry that would be the case if it was only G1/SK1

This would be interesting to see. In a way, they’ve been lucky Southampton because half of that stand was away fans that stood and then another good section was saints fans that stood so the stick they got wasn’t too intense (they still got plenty) with ours it would be a complete shift. I think they’ll go with the smallest possible option. 

[Dan]

Option 1 for sure.

[Ashley]

Has to be option 1. 

 

It would be nice to have it in G too. 

[Craig]

I haven't even read it but option 1 all the way. Time to reclaim the Kop.
