Agree with MO about a safe standing area, if there are people who want to do that then fine and at least anyone who books in that section knows what they're getting.
But right now it's an all seater stadium and those who persistently stand are just selfish twats.
No offence, like.
i agree to an extent, except the whole block was standing. the only people trying to make us sit where the stewards themselves. no one complained about it at all. we just sang instead
If everyone is doing it then fine and it's not the ballet, you can't expect people to just sit there all game. It's when it's just a few people here and there that there's a problem and as MO says if the person in front of you is standing up then you have to if you want to see (make up your own "you wouldn't see anyway, shortarse" joke here).
At some point someone is going to be standing up and the person behind them isn't able to, or just doesn't want to. Then you've got a problem.
Terraces would be pretty safe these days IMO, you don't have the hooligan culture any more - not to the same extent anyway, Chelsea sure have their knuckle-draggers though - and with the electronic ticketing and so on you wouldn't get over-crowding with thousands turning up on the day.
there are a few blocks that seem to stand the whole game. block 19 (by the away fans) and the some over in north bank. think its accepted that if you are there, you stand to a certain degree. same with away games, everyone just stands there.
i do understand obviously that some people can't stand all game be it because they are old or disabled, and also young children but i believe there are sections for them etc.
Mate of mine is in block 5. No one sits.

NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
I did think the stewarding was strange yesterday. A load of Chavs in the next block were being shitheads as expected but anyone giving even a bit back was told to shut up. Nothing major but very lame.
