Liverpool fans told to sit down.

Anyone here the announcement in the Everton v Liverpool match just know? Liverpool fans told to sit down or risk ejection. f*cking shocking.

why????

It's against ground rules to stand, so surely they should be ejected if they persist - that would soon sort them out!

Sadly, it's probably just idle threats.

Why would the stewards risk getting thumped ? I know if I was a steward and my boss said go in amongst that lot and start ejecting them for standing up ,I'd say f**k that !

What clubs should do is have a zero tolerance approach, and ban people who persist mercilessly - but as with most things in this country, it's all just words and there will be no action to back it up.

Dai, theyve been standing at Man Utd/Chelsea/Villa/Everton etc since they said they couldn't.

It come across the tannoy for fans to sit down as kids can not see the pitch it was not just liverpool fans it was for the whole ground.

Seriously? Why should they sit down? Everton fans are standing. Football is becoming as boring and quiet as going to the cinema

Its about having a little bit realism. You can't have standing in the family enclosure, its for kids, but you should organise a section for those who want to stand.

It was only Liverpool fans. I rewound it to here what it said.

At the time it happened. I didn't read this and trawl back 40mins

If that happens aattendances at most clubs would be right down. There's a point for almost every supporter when they vote with their feet

But Annis, that's my whole point - if you applied the rules vigorously with zero tolerance, then once people realised they'd be banned they wouldn't do it - nowadays they just get away with it as you say, so they continue to do it.

I'm all for designated areas where people can stand within the rules, but until that happens, people shouldn't be allowed to stand up causing others to have to stand up if they want to watch the match as well - but as with most things in this country, we're just not strong enough at enforcing rules - it would be different if I had a say in things.

you really need to get a life

We've been told to sit down at away games plenty of times.


Just idle threats as the request is usually ignored.

All the liverpool fans there today would have been hardcore fans, so they would have ignored that message, told any stewards to f**k off and 2000/3000 fans can't get ejected.

I'd deduct them 100 points and fine them £100million quid and close down Anfield.

The fact that many grounds think standing up at the football is dangerous is pathetic in my eyes. At music concerts and festivals where the hippies and teenagers are drugged off their tits on the latest fad they are allowed to stand. As long as their is a stand for those wanting to sit IE the Grandstand for kids and the senior citizens then I do not see the problem.

have any of you actually been to watch a football match? seriously because im starting to doubt it very much.
every man and his dog knows that persistent standing is not tolerated at football matches, laid out by ground regulations written by the FA and the football ground safety advisory group. Everybody knows that football fans and grounds are treated differently than any other sport (you can thank your so called glory years for that).
Point is persistent standing is not tolerated and clubs can incur large fines if not seen to try and tackle the 'problem'. That is where your tannoy announcement comes in, informing fans that persistent standing is not tolerated and you can be ejected. Then after that the safety officer will make a decision that it is far to hostile to make any ejections so for the safety of stewards standing will be tolerated but 'sanctions will be put into place to prevent this problem again', though these new sanctions will look a lot like the current sanctions and nothing will change.
So its not the fact that there are 2 to 3000 hardcore liverpool fans that idea is just stupid, its not individual clubs taking it up on themselves to piss you off (though I have been to a few grounds where this is the case but they take the rules to literally).
Ive been a steward for 6 years now and I have never thrown anyone out for standing (not because I feel intimidated), the fact is that its a stupid rule but as it is written in ground regulations clubs do have to be seen to enforce it. Simple really.

have you ever been to the ccs. then if you had, you would know that in the canton we stand always. so much for not being tolerated everywere.

well not that i need to explain this to you but thats where the rules are a bit of a joke and anybody who isnt pretending to be some jumped up football hooligan will realise it. The allowance for standing in the canton stand means that standing anywhere else in the ground is not to be tolerated (which is why the ninian stand is hit harder than anywhere else) because the club has to be seen to tackle the 'problem' this has been approved by the authorities. I suggest you look a bit more into it before you roll your eyes at me. Facts are the rules are a joke your allowed to stand in moments of excitement yet nobody has been bothered to explain what a moment of excitement is, when it starts and when it finishes there is no definition, the same as persistent standing how long do you have to be standing to be considered to be standing persistently, nobody seems to have a definition for that either. Catch my drift.

Well if you go in the Canton regularly you will notice that half of the stand(probably more) sit in their seats, half way down to the front and sides of the stand. Nobody goes over the tannoy and tells them to sit. They sit because they want to. Anybody who stands in front of a person who needs to sit or wants to sit is either ignorant or oblivious to the situation. For the record I stand all game in the second row from the back.
