Spaces available for forum event at CCS

An open forum to discuss persistent standing within Cardiff City Stadium will be held at 7pm on Friday, 31st January at the ground.

The club will be holding the forum to discuss the management of persistent standing within the stadium and get your views on the issue.

This forum will be held by members of the Cardiff City Stadium Management Team and Professor Steve Frosdick who is a leading academic on Spectator Safety and Crowd dynamics.

We have a limited number of spaces available for this event so if you would like to attend please contact adamgilliatt@cardiffcityfc.co.uk to confirm your attendance.

If there's no seats left in this meeting, will I be allowed to stand ?

if the expert involved by the Club you know he will say the dangers of standing.
yet not dangerous if designated area. stupid laws

Wish I could attend.

Seating is more dangerous. I've seen many people fall over the top part of the seat in front because of its height. Its easy to get a little knock when celebrating and someone goes over because the top of the seat in front is around shin height for most and is a danger.

Stadiums should be all standing.

Whoever is attending can you ask them this simple question, regardless what stand your in what is wrong with people standing in the back row, its not hurting the wall behind.

To me the whole thing is a joke, every Prem ground I have visited this season, sections of the home crowds have stood up in different areas.

Cant get much more selfish than that arrow there are far more people at stadiums who would prefer or need to sit down.

I agree, should be mixed.

While they let part of the Canton stand, the section I sit in (103) are constantly told to sit down. The thing with that is because the section to left of me are allowed to stand I can't see any play around the far corner flag and so have to stand. Basically what I'm saying is the entire canton should be a standing area not just part of it.

Going forward I think the club should poll season ticket holders whether they want to sit or stand. Say 40% of people want to stand, then designate 40% of the stadium as a standing area and move all those who want to stand together. This way you won't get complaints from people who want to sit. Of course this is common sense and so I doubt the club or the relevant authorities will see it this way.

This is ridiculous. You look at other stadiums and most have large standing areas.

Our atmosphere is touch and go as it is, keep making people to sit down will kill it completely.

I agree with a previous post, all of Canton should be standing and 2-3 blocks of Ninian from the corner at least. I agree a poll should be conducted and people allocated position based on what they want.

It's a load of shit they we standing up next to us in the eithad so whats wrong with us?

I think it is only a matter of time until safe-standing areas are introduced at all premier league clubs.
I read somewhere that for every 1000 seated you can get 1800 standing.If that is true,then it makes a very compelling
reason for clubs to lobby for a change to the present regulations.

Well that's why they should have a standing stand and sitting stand, best of both worlds

Think about in Ninian Park, There was a whole stand just for people who want to stand up, why don't they put a section by the away fans where if people want to stand up then they can.
