samingram_uk Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 say we do get to stand... where will it be, and are the stands to steep for it?
Floating Fox Posted 31 May 2007 Author Posted 31 May 2007 say we do get to stand...where will it be, and are the stands to steep for it? I think that the campaign is mainly focusing on the right to be able to have safe standing areas at this moment! I'm guessing (based On the German Model) that there would be an end behind the goal that would have standing areas and then a Corner for away fans. Regarding the steepness I don't really know but I can't see why, as Leicester stands aren't that steep.
Daggers Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 It would be nice if The Trust could throw it's full weight behind this I tried to find out their stance on standing at stadia but can not see any reference to it on their website (or anything else really come to that). Does anyone know what they are currently campaigning for?

Does anyone know what they are currently campaigning for? I don't know what their current situation is, in fact I've heard nothing from them for a while, they're certainly keeping their heads below the parapet. As for the standing issue I believe if my memory serves me correctly that they are fully behind it.

I don't want to divert the thread - but I can't find their position on anything other than fund-raising and player sponsorship on the site. It's something that I suggested many times needs addressing but maybe you could give them a prod Davie, seeing as you have their ear? They need to highlight issues they are campaigning on, detail them clearly on the website and produce regular updates. Unless, that is, they are building a statue with the Mandaric money and folding as an entity. This is my last Trust-related post in this thread

Floating Fox Posted 31 May 2007 Author Posted 31 May 2007 Done Cheers pal This is a real step for our campaign.
Daggers Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 This is a real step for our campaign. I never knew I carried so much weight. Shut up Fez
lcfc_jme Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 I never knew I carried so much weight. Shut up Fez I know I'm not Fez, but exercise is the key, Lemond.
Daggers Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 Dave,I would be grateful if you would bear with me on this as I am not at work tomorrow and I am trying to tidy up as best I can. I attended the ‘Safe Standing’ debate in London on 14th March representing LCFC. There were other club’s in attendance along with MP’s and other interested parties. We continue to play a full and meaningful part as the debate continues. I will try and find time read the report and get back to you. Regards Peter
Floating Fox Posted 31 May 2007 Author Posted 31 May 2007 I knew We were represented at Parliment, didn't know it was PJ though! Sounds like he's busy.
Tommeh Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 Just sent an e-mail Great work Andy, this would be a real step forward not just for LCFC but football as a whole in my opinion
Floating Fox Posted 4 June 2007 Author Posted 4 June 2007 To be clear, the Trust Board has always followed a policy of being "pro choice" rather than "pro standing" (which is actually what SUSD campaigns for, but most believe it's just standing), therefore supports the introduction of a dedicated area of standing in an area of the ground, which doesn't disrupt those who prefer to sit down.
Simi Posted 5 June 2007 Posted 5 June 2007 Everything seems to be moving in the right direction now. StandUpSitDown got quite abit of coverage on SkySportsNews last week which is no doubt another positive. Hopefully when Pete Jones reads the report he will get back to us via himself or the FoxesTrust.

I got That email above from the FoxesTrust (As well as other gibber) and Peter Emailed me and said basically the same as what He did to Le-Mond
Daggers Posted 5 June 2007 Posted 5 June 2007 when Pete Jones reads the report he will get back to us via himself or the FoxesTrust. Christ - I hope not. Since when did they become nothing more than a mouthpiece for the clu... Ahhhhhh! Stupid me.

Floating Fox Posted 5 June 2007 Author Posted 5 June 2007 He said he'd got a copy and would continue with the club to do something. Here it is: I am aware of the FSF report on safe standing. I represented the club at the debate at Westminster on 14th March 2007 and continue to follow the discussions with interest. The club will continue to listen to all views on the subject and assist in a positive way when we are requested.
