Either way, wherever it would be put the people who currently enjoy sitting there would be put out, which just doesn't seem fair to me. Also, I'm just not seeing how providing a small section like you describe will offer all of the benefits you're claiming of standing. If it's small sections you won't really be able to move very far away from people irritating you, and nor will it improve the atmosphere around the ground because there'll still only be the 1 or 2 pockets of standing fans.

Why would (or should) they be?

Because in the days when standing was allowed you paid less to stand than to sit.

At those rugby and football grounds where standing is still allowed you pay less to stand than to sit.

but the standing would be in a combined stand with seating, how would you steward it.

It's a nonsense idea how ever you look at it, the KC is an all seater stadium and should remain so.

(and I was one of the biggest campaigners to have standing when we first moved)

Dont state the obvious to Standee, he dont like it

But on the flip side, he has a valid point. If people want standing, it will cost to change the set up so why should it be any cheaper?

I agree with you on that.

build a caged area for the numbnuts in the corner to move to and beer throwers what a good idea!!
this is all about opinion and preference and personally i think moving back to any standing area now would move us back into a yob culture again , seating sucesfully removed MOST of the unruly stuff and should stay that way!!
But i am sure the teenagers and beer chuckers will love it.
I loved the 3rep but those days are a long time ago now.... the KC works just fine as it is so leave it as it is IMO.

however as said we can dicuss it all day but doubtful it will happen

Indeed, imagine the conversation at the infrastructure investment and oversight comitee....

"Mr Asseem Allam"

"Yes, I believe, having tried to hold you to ransom and threatening to move to Melton, The City Council should invest £12m so that we can increase the capacity of the KC stadium by 5000 via installing a safe standing area in part of the East and South stand, the disruption will only affect Hull FC for 4 months and the investment will allow me and my father to get within £30m of breaking even next season"

"No, next question"

It's a total non starter.

He'll be buying Ferriby and moving City there next, oh, hang on.....

Just been to a meeting at KC Stadium .Been informed it's will not happen.It's not just about taking seats out the new Structure is NOT suited of the seating area at the KC Stadium .Plus the way the Structure of the Stadium will change you need more room for people to stand .And who will paid for the changes .The Stadium licence state all seater Stadium

I would'nt see it as a step back if (thats a big if) it did happen because lets face it if we didnt share with a football team and we had our own modern ground like warrington,saints and salford then we would definatly have standing areas.

I have changed my opinion on this and think it could be a decent idea if they just put the barrier seats in and still sell tickets per seat then i cant see a problem with that side of things.

The main issue is cost for the council and they don't stand to gain anything.

for that reason unless allam wants to fund it then it has to be a no go.

To change things there will be hell of a cost to it.The structure of the KC Stadium as it stands will not take standing .For a start the terracing will have to be strengthened and new crush barriers would have to be put in.Plus what people are forgetting to change the Licence from an ALL Seating Stadium would have to get changed by Law.At a meeting on Monday night people in high places stated it's NOT going to happen

KC - Built as an ALL SEATER Stadium if the Assams and their followers want a Stadium to stand in off you go to Melton

or build up Craven Park
