Safe Standing At The City Ground?

[Strawberry Avenger]

I never did 'get' the whole 'standing' for 90s (plus extra time if you have it) thing.

Did some standing up when I watched Chesterfield plays Keegan's Fulham.  (1-0 to Fulham that day.). Bit hard to see through a crowd of bodies (I'd have to bring my own crate box to stand on.)

Much prefer the lofty vantage point of 'N' in Brian Clough were I can sit, 'Clough Style,' (!) with my arms folded running my scrutinising eye over the Forest team.

That sad, who doesn't like standing up and jumping around like a loon when Forest score?  The kinetic 'jump and roar' as 'one' with the Forest faithful.  Greatest buzz in the world.

SA.

This is why it's necessary though, so some people who enjoy standing all game (like myself) can without interfering with others that may want or need to sit for whatever reason (be it health, height or just personal preference)

A Block is basically safe standing already anyway right now. Might as well make it legal, can get more people in there legally then too and stop getting bruised by the chairs celebrating goals!

I guess if it's 'standing' designated I guess you can't complain about the 6.5 guy's bonce being in the way of you sitting dow. ;)

Another thing about seating at the City Ground.  It's very....'cosy.'  A bit like tight car parking spaces.  Or some 'big blokes' knees in the back of your seat. :P

All Forest fans suffering together, I guess.

Not quite like the leather seating and 'spread your legs' room you get for Man U's coaching staff.  

I like the sweet irony of paying somebody's wages so they can sit comfortably whilst you're sat on modestly sized, hard plastic seat for 90s minutes and then see your team rhubarbed by Blackburn Rovers.

Still, the atmosphere at the City Ground is electric.  ('I cam' 'ere for thee atmoSpheeere.'  Kenny.)
