Ninian Stand Sunday

Tue Nov 05, 2013 12:39 pm

Lots of people standing in front of me on sunday 115, doesn't bother me one bit.
so a guy goes to the stewards and basically said do your damn jobs and get those who
are standing to sit down, his right I suppose seen has he has paid for his seat,
Anway the stewards reply was that It was the clubs policy that they were letting people
stand for the next 2 home games (jacks, man u) this guy was not happy one bit.
Anyone else aware of this policy :ayatollah:

They need to be consistent with the message they are sending out, if this is true. I was in 115 last year (couldn't renew season ticket this year due to work), and noticed them standing on the TV coverage on Sunday. Personally, if I was still there, I would have been pissed off. End of the day, it's a sitting section. I get that some people want to stand, but it's bullshit to put out people behind you as a result.

Personally I prefer to stand at football that's why I go in the canton end. However if I had preference to sit at games then I would be well pissed off if fans were standing in front. Surely they got to be consistent they can't pick or choose. It's madness.

They need a few blocks by the away fans that need to be able to stand. Relocate those a bit further towards the Canton stand.Everyone happy then :D

My daughter couldn't make the game so I asked a mate if he wanted to go instead (like for like swap - both adult).
We were in 115 and persistent standing in front of us ruined the game for my mate (he lost a leg serving his country) and all he had was commentary from me.
I am not complaining about persistent standers where we expect them to be (if this was the norm in 115 I wouldn't have asked my mate) but changing the rules game by game is not fair !

yeah saw loads standing there from our view in the canton, was good to see fair play, but i doubt it was all intentional

standing up is like dominoes... one stands and you have to stand to be able to see... so another stands up and so on

next thing you know you have a large section all standing up :lol:
