ARockit 118 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I mentioned earlier that I have been in GF3 for 24 years and wouldnt want to move (from one of the larger seated areas). The point I should have made, and I guess I am not alone, is that I have SAT DOWN for 24 years and don't suddenly want to STAND UP for 90 mins in all weathers. I do it at Hampden because, that's just how it is, but I'd rather be in my seat at Ibrox, jumping from it when we score or get a Beaton given against us! just my view JCDBigBear and thesins 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I currently sit in the disabled section or something? Ive never once said I want to sit on my arse, I said that after surgery the bouncy isn't recommended you idiot. Ive left early once in 19 years. Also the tube? When did we move to London? ARockit and thebooler 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now there is 50k seats for you to choose from. But there isn't that option for those who want to stand, sing and jump about for 90 minutes, so its only fair supporters get that chance.

JCDBigBear 10,763 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Any standing area would really require to be either Copland Front or somewhere in the Enclosure. One of the problems with that is that would involve moving people who have had seats beside friends or family or have also been in a good seat for some considerable time. A couple of years ago they tried to instigate a move to the Copland rear where I have had 3 tickets for years. I have friends around us as well. None of us were happy at the prospect of being shunted just to allow Union Bears to be happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen you mention above about not being happy that you could be shunted to keep Union Bears happy It's no really about keeping the UB happy at all, it's about reviving an atmosphere which has been dying on it's arse for some time.

None of us were happy at the prospect of being shunted just to allow Union Bears to be happy. I think it would intially have to be the GEC, unless the club were willing to turn the full CF in to safe standing but I don't think they care enough to make that happen, hopefully in time it will. Can't just make it 1/2 sections of CF as it would block peoples view at either side. Wouldn't have that issue in GEC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to move with the times. Exactly, some people have a problem with UB but its not about them, they're just the driving force behind it. For example, that petition set up by someone has +4000 signatures in less than a day. UB has about 40-60 -actual members. Its not about them, they actually say that in their statement. thebooler and Mr Soprano 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
