I'm all for improving the atmosphere but don't get how people can't sing the now coz there sitting but will sing if they stand , makes no sense to me ,every away ground we go to is seated and we sing the full 90 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this needs done before we can even discuss this. But nice to see they have got their priorities straight thou, who cares about 7 in a row going on 12 but as long as we get safe standing ?? Why does SS costs have to be met by the club? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't see why having a large standing section where the only people in it are those who want to stand and sing for 90 minutes will improve the atmosphere then carry on mate.

Unless the whole stand agrees it won't happen, all you hear is folk shouting "sit down" already. If they don't want a rail standing section then they should expand the already existing "standing section" into the rest of BF and let folk move there. But I don't know if that's even legal since technically the UBs and the rest of BF1 shouldn't really be standing anyway, it's a sort of unspoken agreement as far as know but I doubt they'd allow it in other areas Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZed 4,510 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I was raised going to Ibrox when it was mostly standing and it did not take much to get the singing going. People don't like singing when they are sitting down. Down stairs for standing and up stairs for sitting. I would give the front of the Sandy and the enclosure to standing.

That along with the fact we sit in complete fear of a battering for 90 minutes now so can't bring ourselves to sing. Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coplandrear25 232 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 For all of those older bears reminiscing about the singing in days gone by.You should also explain to the younger bears that the vast majority of the support were pished.

These things don't come for free, Safe standing is a very long way away,as,ifbthe club said okay we fans would like to know where the money is coming from when we need a right back,winger and a target man for starters. We simply can't afford it just now as the manager fucked up any European income which would have relived a bit of the pressure on us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsa 3,906 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I think spending money on safe standing so a bunch of little pricks in the broomloan front can pretend they are "ultras", is the least of our concerns right at this moment.

Vanoli 4,625 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 How is safe standing going to improve the atmosphere? It will literally be taken up almost entirely by the UB and their tag alongs - who all stand anyway... Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
