It was a sizeable number of fans who voiced their opinion that they would prefer standing areas within the new ground and the club listened.Giving the supporters the option to sit or stand,where there is no legal reason to have an all-seater stadium,is what was requested and what was delivered.

Largely empty looking I should think! But if fans fall out with the idea of standing, seats can be put in. It won't be the same capacity but it will be all-seater. However, lots of fans wanted to stand. They preferred to stand along the sides, but behind the sticks will do. I want to stand. I want to be free to jump up and down, and to change my view, albeit with limited variation given the position behind the sticks. But lots of fans are going to miss the freedom they had at Knowsley Road and being able to stand is one way of maintaining that.

I just hope the atmosphere in the Wide to West end can be something similar to the Pop Side. It won't ever be the same, but maybe we can get something going.

A choice or seating and standing is what the majority of fans wanted and thats what they are getting.

As I stand at 6' 4" tall I am more than happy I can stand at our new stadium, as most stadia's in the UK don't cater for larger people generally.

I am 5ft and have rarely had a problem with view when standing, I get in early enough I can position myself where I should be fine, if there is a problem its easy enough to move when stood anyway (not that I can remember the last time I had to). If anything I have had more problems when sitting as I seem to always end up with the giants sat in front of me!

I will be sitting in the new ground as it will be easier with 2 young children hopefully attending games within the next few seasons. If it wasn't for that though I would have happily stood at the new ground.

Just ask Sadfish to move if he's sat infront of you

Stood in front of you is worse!!!

Thank you, whilst arguing for your new stadium as it will be you make my point for me, "I will be sitting in the new ground as it will be easier with 2 young children"

Why exactly does that mean that there shouldn't be the option to sit or stand as there is now?

Just because my personal preference has changed it certainly doesn't mean that is what everyone else will want.

And what's even better about the new stadium is that like it or not the majority of you Goons are going to have to stand behind the sticks, as only a tiny proportion of seating, tucked away in the far corner, has been allocated for Away fans.

he gets the full force of my farts most matches!
