: Manchester City are trying to get permission for a safe standing area at their proposed new ground at Eastlands. With the fact that the smaller standing areas in the lower divions are still operational without any serious incidents I see no reason why the Premier League shouldnt allow standing areas to return. They need to listen to the real fans, we want terraces back for the good of the game and atmosphere.
what peeves me is that they refuse to even DISCUSS it. the only time they did (well they say they did) they discussed it in private and came up with the conclusion that standing isnt safe, i dont remember any consultation with the ppl that put these twats in the job. its amazing how stupid they think the public is. if standing at an event is so dangerous ban it at concerts, in fact ban it on buses and trains and the like, THEYRE more dangerous if the bus lurges or sommat.
