Just because perimeter fences has gonethat doesnt mean that there can't be a big crush with loads of people killed, you could get crushed to death on a train, outside a football ground, inside a football ground, outside cinema, absolutely anywhere and that will never ever change it is impossible to get rid of every risk
ive been saying that in my previous posts?????? now this is your argument against standing??? jesus i give up. *face palm*

Maybe if everyone there wrapped themselves in bubble wrap I'd prefer a section to be standing, give people the choice. If we were to ever get a shiny new stadium, now, while we're non-league and a few seasons (at the very least!) away from championship would be the ideal opportunity.

If I had a small gathering at home someone could stagger out the toilet and fall down the stairs knocking everyone in the toilet queue with them.
If we didn't do something every time because there is some risk; no matter how small; then out life would grind to a halt.
A box may hit me on the head at work. But then again if I go to work, I might be involved in a car crash. I can't go online anymore because the electricity used to power my computer may cause a house fire.

I lived in Germany for several years and had a season ticket at Werder Bremen for 3 seasons, it would have been in the standing section but it's difficult to get one because of the popularity of them. I have however stood in many many grounds in Germany as an away fan and never ever seen any safety issues because all grounds there have to be licensed and approved by the authorities, a properly constructed stadium is safe for both standing and sitting. If we ever do move from BP, I for one would be all for a standing section as long as it is properly designed and built.
Someone mentioned Dortmund earlier in the thread, their home end the "sud-tribune" holds 20,000 for home games, if they can deal with that many safely then we can surely have an area for 500 to 1,000 mariners at any new stadium.
Aaron, best get yourself a rubber ring from your holiday in Scarbrough, it will keep you safe if you wear it at matches and of course we will all be able to see you too....

it wouldnt happen against the advertising boards , look in the pontoon , theres sections of the boards that push over at certain intervals so theyll always be a place to get thru and this is the same at most grounds these days

Again might already have been posted. http://www.imusa.org/newsarticle.php?id=319But German model looks good ie still a similar amount of people in ground jsu ability to stand. Biggest attendance in europe I think is Dortmund and they have the safe standing.

But on the sections which dont flip down and if you are in a crush there you won't be able to move, but it could happen outside the ground

Someone I know shattered the knee trying to climb over the Pontoon advertising boards following the 1-0 win over Tottenham.

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.
