I'd love to see the new ground built on a similar mold to BP, just without the posts and not made out of wood, but with a corner and a side connected, one big double tiered stand down the other side etc and I'd like to see the equivalent of the Ponny end being an all safe standing area, be great to get all the atmosphere created at one end of the ground rather than small, very weak smatterings all over the place.
The Ponny was simply brilliant to be in when it was all standing, although not entirely safe it was an experience. I can remember being about 12 years of age and when town scored ending up 10 to 15 meters away from where I was originally stood.............Awesome |

Oh here we go lol. "I want things to be like when I was a thug in the 60's, I want people to surge forward in massive crowds and crush people when a goal is scored so it's more dangerous.....I don't want to stand though I want to sit with my flask and watch it to reminisce over my youth." It's okay you can use your decades old insults on me and tell me to give my head a wobble  . Who even says that anymore?
We clearly need to make an effort to communicate better with our younger supporters, especially those that can't read. [img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/07/5b/ea/075bea9514f9d7642a74072fd81c93e0.jpg[/img] |

Was a regular in the barrett stand in the 70s moving to the imperial corner in the 80s and would love the return of the corners although worry as to my grandsons view who is only 7 and think would struggle to see with these new standing systems being so regimented .

We wouldn’t even be able to have a rail seating area in a new, purpose-built stafoum as the law applies to the clubs (not grounds) who were in the top two divisions at the time.
I may be right in thinking that we could go out of business and come back as a different legal entity whilst still playing at BP (a la Rangers or Hereford), and then we would be allowed rail seating.
It’s insane, but the government don’t care a jot.
It's nothing to do with the Government not caring a jot but more the restrictive, short-sighted nature of the Law when it was introduced. |

It’s down to the application of the law (laws which, oddly, the government are in charge of...), and the government minister responsible for this went against the advice of her own experts recently and rejected West Brom’s proposal. It’s everything to do with the government. They’re the only ones holding this back. |

This is due to be debated in parliament soon, the safe standing petition having reached 100,000 signatures.
If you care about this, please do email your MP to ask them to support trials and pilot schemes, not so it can be judged as success or failure, but so everyone can work out how it can be best made to work.
There are supporters and detractors on both sides. Tracey Crouch, the Sports Minister, is the major block at the moment. If you're emailing a Tory MP, maybe stress the freedom-of-choice aspect and point out that the Welsh Conservatives have already put support for safe standing in their manifesto. If you have a Labour MP, suggest it as another way to outflank "out of touch Tories".
And if your MP is Melanie Onn say that someone who was sat down wolf whistled at you and it made you feel degraded |

How about 'I want things to be like the 2010s when I was a massive male private who mischaracterised people's wishes, oh that's now,' as an insult. Never realised there was a use by date on insults. But them I'm not a dedicated swallower of fashion. |

I'd love it to have as much wood as possible. It'd add character. Is the outside of the Main Stand just a bit of excrement old timber to you? |

I wouldn’t think the main stand was that nice if I was stuck at the back when it went up in flames
