I think the amount of other fans that congregate around the union bears or stand in other parts of the stadium, suggests the numbers who would want standing areas, and actually buy tickets for them, is not that high. Two sections would potentially work - getting singing in other parts of the stadium, like the enclosure and Copland used to do. But there's a limited amount of room near BF1 and you can only stand if you're in the back row of other parts of the ground? What about every away game where everybody stands? Two sections, small ones at that, totally defeats the purpose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on numbers could be elsewhere. Hmm that could work but if there’s more numbers than expected think they could make it GF7 and CF1 aswell?

The hassle of divideing a portion of the support who would have to relocate to accomodate this. Put it in BF1 and juat give them the usual away allocation in the corner Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation before with singing from the enclosure and Copland suggests it wouldn't necessarily defeat the purpose. Yeah, there is limited room near bf1. However, I've not seen much evidence of loads of people trying to get tickets beside them. As for away games, I stand at them as well. It is, pretty much, the done thing. I don't have any interest in standing at ibrox, though. That's not to say folk shouldn't.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The distance between the corners would, potentially, help to spread the signing further around the ground. If that was done, I'm sure it could be extended a bit at each side, if need be. Most parts of the ground are sold out most weeks, tbf. The point I wa making is that I don't hear lots of people complaining they can't get tickets beside bf1, and most in bf2 don't stand, anyway.

LochendBilly 8,409 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'd like to see it in GEC then if more uptake start moving along CF1, CF2 etc. Would be shite for existing ST holders there though, but something would have to give no matter where it was located. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 63,956 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Would be as well not bothering if they're only going to do it in the GEC Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be a single area (CF behind the goal or Enclosure SW4/5) with potential to expand if demand is there. Rail seating is the way forward and I'd put it in the Broomloan Front as well but lock it down for the bheasts unless they just get the corner (all they really should get), its easier to hose down and sanitise after their visits. Its also less comfortable and more robust than the plastic seats they always vandalise. Easier to hook up to the mains when needed too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same way I expect you would want fans not in a standing section to join in? And do the UB not already sing songs where some of them sing at the other part and vice versa?

andyhrfc 2,242 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Make CF rail seating for starters.  Put all those who want to stand and sing in there.  If there is enough demand add the East Enclosure.  There were 14000 of us standing at Murrayfield and I imagine the vast majority did it by choice so there is plenty of demand.   Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.T.G 10,771 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Pick an area and that’s that. If you want to move...move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
