I went to watch a town Lincoln game over Xmas maybe 5 or 6 years back. Actually it might have been more years and the game was on despite heavy snow. On the way to the ground the paths were a death trap. I waited on the corner near the imp for my mate and literally twenty people slipped Over in the space of ten minutes. it was hilarious actually. Aaron would have had an heart attack.

Standing can be as safe as seating, lets be honest were not going to have 1000's trying to cram into a small area of BP in this day and age. Nothing like Hillsbourgh (thank god) could ever happen again due to new health and safety laws etc.
So for that reason id love to see standing at our new ground.


But nothing is totally risk free, could happen, unlikely though

If you take that mentality you'd lay in bed all day,every day - doing nothing. Because like you say nothing is risk free - do understand your point but think your being over cautious


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx

Standing should be an option in a well-designed and well-managed stadium.  Germany has some standing areas at Bundesliga games.  No problems there.

Well just cos my mates or me could get injured or killed at a town game isn't going to stop me from going because it is unlikely
