OriginalRobboFOX Posted 5 February 2007 Posted 5 February 2007 Heard a debate on 5live and apparently the whole terracing issue is to be reviewed Perhaps a standing section along with what the Ultra's is trying to do is what the Walkers needs??
DanTheFoxBhoy Posted 5 February 2007 Posted 5 February 2007 Don't see why it would be a problem given current stadium designs, it's not like they have terraces anymore. We stand at our seats beind the goals over here, not a lot can really happen if you're standing row by row with seats behind and in front of you.
Floating Fox Posted 5 February 2007 Posted 5 February 2007 Very intresting. I'm all for standing. Sign the petition's at standupsitdown andf back the campaign Standupsitdown

Kilworthfox Posted 8 February 2007 Posted 8 February 2007 Hislborough was the fault of the south yorkshire police treating fans like cattle! A complete disregard for those who they saw as trouble, who most were genuine fans wanting to watch their team play in a semi final! This is FACT which was the result of the enquiry, but its easier to say that it was also the grounds condition and the police rather than these officers were to blame! Think about it those who are to blame may have searched YOU when we went to sheff wed away, now what are the women and children more afraid of?
Webbo Posted 8 February 2007 Posted 8 February 2007 Hislborough was the fault of the south yorkshire police treating fans like cattle! i think thousands of pissed up scousers might be a tiny bit to blame aswell.
vanfox12 Posted 11 February 2007 Posted 11 February 2007 i think thousands of pissed up scousers might be a tiny bit to blame aswell. If Liverpool had been allocated the Kop End Hillsborough may never have happened but then again it might have happened anyway to someone else owing to poor policing and a failure to keep terraces properly maintained which was the case here. Also there was a close shave in the Early 80's at the same ground when luckily no one got killed at a Cup Semi final involving Tottenham and Wolves.
Leonisco Posted 11 February 2007 Posted 11 February 2007 i think thousands of pissed up scousers might be a tiny bit to blame aswell. Yeah but in the 80's most football fans were pissed up and rowdy at games, so if this was the cause of Hillsborough you would have got incidents like that happening every week! As Kilworth said, it was more down to bad policing than the fans.
Guest Posted 11 February 2007 Posted 11 February 2007 Why would women and children be scared? By the way, the the stands at the WS are at the "wrong gradient", and so introducing terracing would cost £lots.
Joe. Posted 11 February 2007 Posted 11 February 2007 Why would women and children be scared?

I certainly couldn't...
Tommeh Posted 11 February 2007 Posted 11 February 2007 Grounds shouldn't be made into terracing no way, but certainly at ALL away games and sections of home games crowds should be allowed to stand up. I noticed Tottenham do all game behind one of their goals and so did all the villa fans at reading yesterday.
Daggers Posted 11 February 2007 Posted 11 February 2007 I'd imagine if there was a little bit of shoving in a seated area, where people were standing, the breakages of bones would be quite severe. Toppling over the backs of chairs would be much worse than simply falling over in a terraced area.

Then people just won't go to that section if they know everyone stands and they don't want to.
