hopefully will never happen, it's much safer with crowds seated.

Yes, you was certainly risking your life on the terraces. I remember standing in the 3d stand as a 14 year old, gaping at the sea of death around me. Every single week a multitude of casualties, cutting our attendances for the following week. This is the real reason for the decline of attendances at the Boulevard, thank god we found the safety net of the KC, or all the Hull fans would be dead by now!

On a serious note, I have witnessed 3 injuries including 1 fatality at seated grounds, and I never actually witnessed one throughout all the years I stood at the Boulevard. I remember a guy having a seizure in 3d stand, and the fans getting him to the St Johns people at the bottom in less than 2 minutes. No chance of that happening to someone stuck in the middle of cramped seating.

Can't see it changing and nor should it change.

The Hillsborough disaster alone should prevent this from ever happening.

The Met in London would not allow standing at the Den again in mine or your lifetime.

The problem there was the overcrowding and the lack of safety procedures, people were penned into enclosures so no escape when a crush began. Nowadays with pitches having no high fencing and with proper stewarding no overcrowding as well things are much safer.

I am lucky enough to be able to stand at the home games with having a seat on the back row, but would love a standing area at the KC as it would certainly improve the atmosphere.

all made possible because of all seater stadia.

A return to standing would be regressive.

It used to be brill standing in the South Stand with the Leeds fans at Headingley.

Not sure I buy into the atmosphere argument, our atmosphere has lacked due to the last few years of dire rugby in my opinion, we rocked the KC when we came back against Saints, the atmosphere was electric and if we can start to put in displays like that I am sure the atmosphere will rock again, seated or not.

So the HJ is a regressive stadium and Saints new one etc.

The fact is some people like to stand and as long as it is policed correctly there should be no problems.

HJ and Saints aren't football grounds, and I think the standing areas are a very bad idea. I was initially against the stadium being all seater (hence my username) but a return to standing is not a good idea in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with being seated and those that really want to stand are a minority I would imagine.

I thought you were being serious.

Got to disagree with you about a minority wishing to stand, I would say most clubs would have a majority of fans wishing to stand, that's certainly the case at Headingley. Football fans have had all seater stadia forced onto them and the vast majority hate them. As a poster above said, properly policed standing areas will never be a problem. I've been going to Rugby and football for over 30 years and the only time i've felt unsafe on the terraces was at a semi final at Hillsborough a couple of years before the tragedy, read into that what you like. The biggest problem with all seater stadiums is that everything has to be planned in advance if you want to sit with friends, you can't just get a couple of lads turning up on the day and standing next to you like years gone by on the terraces. Another problem is if you get a total crettin sat next to you, if you're standing you just walk away, when you're allocated a seat you're stuck with them. God forbid you get the most annoying,moaning idiot who doesn't know a thing about the game sat behind you all season as a season ticket holder. I'm certainly glad the Carnegie Stand at Headingley included a standing area and the proposed new South Stand will be all terracing.

This meeting is about using them odd looking German standing/seats they have over there.
Meaning the KC's capacity will hardly change and shouldn't pose a big problem installing them.
Just the outlay vs the not much to gain £ scenario and of course the outdated Green Guide's policies.

Can't imagine terracing ever been allowed back from a football side of things

Look stupid, but if it brings standing back then I'm all for it.

hope your comment about an over reaction is a joke, if not, I personally will never take any of your future comments seriously.

People may disagree with all seater stadiums, but nobody can deny that stadiums are safer places to watch sports than they were 25 years ago. Surely that's a good thing?
