" Safe Standing "

So with Aston Villa are now pushing for Safe Standing is this something that our club should look at?

Remember this isn't terracing, you have your set space (and even a seat) as they have it set up in Germany. There's no risk to life like Hillsborough (although terracing wasn't the only issue in play that day) it would increase capacity also.

I think all clubs will want this. I would love to see this and terracing as the club has to take practical steps to improve the atmosphere. I hate marketing terms like "matchday experience" but improvements like this would surely make some difference. More importantly, it affects the teams performance. Malkay wants to turn CCS into a place that teams dread playing and best atmos at CCS was Crystal Palace play-off with a mini-pitch invasion to boot - I would love that every week. Now is the time to get it on the table as if we go up (and we will) then the breeze-blocks at the top of 3 stands are taken down for expansion. Get it at least in the discussion/planning process now. My guess is that a few forward-thinking clubs will do it and then others will follow - it would be great if we were one of the first. Anyway, 3 points today please boys and have a top day y'all!

Bring back proper terracing I say. Our ground I would now say is the quietist in the championship. To many plastics types and fans not connecting with the club any more.
