The atmosphere has been rubbish bar big games at Tynecastle for the majority of my life. It’s also exactly the same in every other ground in Scotland and a lot down south too. Id love it if it was jumping every game. Just can’t see that happening. I fully support there being safe standing but I honestly find it hard to believe it automatically means the atmosphere improves. As has been pointed out the majority of folk to use them pretty much already stand, so don’t know why it would make much difference. But folk clearly want to stand at games & should be catered for.

Capacity 22,000 Seats 3,000 Standing 19,000 Scottish football has a lot to learn. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadion_An_der_Alten_Försterei In the second Bundesliga. We have plenty grounds with standing below our top league as well. The big lesson to learn is that Germany has a population of over 80 million so has a lot of teams with large supports.

Yes, I think the atmosphere takes care of itself. Can't generate a faux wild atmosphere at every game. Just doesn't work. The atmosphere when we beat Celtic was great for example.

Large standing areas are allowed in the Bundesliga too - Dortmund have 24,000 standing behind one goal ! If the Gorgie was standing, it would only be 15% or so of the capacity.

If we do progress with safe standing then we would need to analyse what the real demand might be. I’ve used safe standing in Hannover.
