There is shortly to be a discussion taking place with regard to standing areas being reinstated in all seater stadia. This discussion will be on the 11-2-12 and will involve a FC supporters representative, HCOSC, FSA, Hull City, Stadium management company, John Cooper and the local MPs and councillors. The views of the FC faithful will be taken on board and aired at this meeting.
In talks with FC voices they have volunteered to be at this meeting as our representative.
Germany has had standing areas reinstated for ten years now and the Scottish FA are said to be looking at it favourably also.
What are our thoughts and views on this turn around and do how would it affect the KC stadium layout.
.

Would depend on where it is. North/south would be favourites, but no problem for me

Good idea.

Dont see the attraction with standing personally but dont have a big problem with it as long as i dont have to do it ha

So let me get this right.

FC Voices will be there to represent the fans?

Hope they enter the meeting with a valid mandate from us, the fans. Seen as they are a fans group an all that shizzle

On this there is talk that Villa Park will see the first new standing area season after next, poss even the Holte end, lower deck, (the biggest end cantilever stand in the UK)

Once they see the cost of the civils involved, it'll be kicked into the long grass

FC Voices will not be there as far as I am aware so who-ever is the Hull FC rep we need to know who that person represents. FC Fans are a fans group and all that shizzle so if you wish to give a mandate I am sure you will be welcomed.

Does this mean I'll have to sit down for people constantly going to the toilet?

I'd have one single stand for standing and that allows drinking in the stand. Keep all the riff-raff in one area so plump genteel old ladies like me can spread out in peace and quiet.

A member of FC Voices will be there to listen at the meeting and relay back to the fans. No one from Voices will be making any statements or decisions, just listening and bringing it back to you to let you make your minds up.

I'm all for it and it might solve the capacity problem the Allam's have with the KC.

I for one will be on the terraces with any luck. Needs to be reintroduced, massive over reaction to get rid altogether IMO.

But they said only a few weeks ago they'd not invest in the KC unless given the stadium. This will cost a few quid.
