It may well be, but it looks like it will never change here now.

 

[Tredman]

Seems like a legal change is not necessary:

Any sanctioning of 'rail seating' would not require a change in the law. Instead, it is thought to be down to the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to modify how they exercise powers given to them by the legislation.

Just need a change of government to one not predisposed to think we are all scum.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Aye - it does look that way. But I can't see any minister in that portfolio of either hue being particularly interested in making it happen.

Not that it matters, as they ain't winning an election any time soon, but what is Labour's stance on safe standing?

As long as you support Corbyn, you can stand...

 

[Tredman]

Isn't Tom Watson a baggies fan? Might be a possibility then.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think it would be sooooooooooooo low on a list of priorities as to be beneath notice.

 

[Tredman]

Not really if it just requires a guidance change. Besides DCMS is hardly a hot bed of activity.

 

[leedswolf]

Didn't the LibDems raise the question of safe standing during one of the more recent election campaigns?

thats pretty much what was said when someone asked the minister months ago.

 

[Tony Towner]

If you aren't a football fan it would come across as pretty trivial.

Man in the sky was on an old tv channel earlier, and I found a youtube set of the sites filmed.

Me too! It was where I spent many an enjoyable Saturday afternoon in the early seventies, watching Dougan, Richards, Wagstaffe, Hibbitt et al. banging in goals against the top sides of the day.

Wow it really was a dump in places wasnt it? Incredible to actually see inside the stands and the old toilet blocks etc. Thanks for finding this!

Where it all begun for me, used to go down 3 times a week and sit and watch them on the North Bank car park. I got bollocked by Graham Turner once so did a few players, one time I went to fetch the ball and did about 50 kick ups and Kendall, Downing and Mutchy all applauded me, Turner come over and said well done but just throw back the ball next time, he bollocked those three as well..

Used to go to reserve games too back then - as I have said elsewhere I will never forget the old man who used to give bookings from the North bank

Fuck me I forgot about him, wonder if he still alive ?
I used to stand right behind him

 

[fizzwolf]

I wouldn’t think so - he looked to be in his 50-60’s back then 30+ years ago. Then again?
