I don’t know how ST holders may feel at the top with the bottom bit all standing. What was the Scottish cup v Celtic like with the GU below ? I don’t know if they will be housed down the bottom but the talk is the full bottom of Gorgie rd will have railed seating. It's the only way it would work at Tynecastle I reckon, if it was a vertical section, there would be a seated section a couple of feet away who can't see anything in that direction.

The Gorgie Ultras have really brought the atmosphere to Tynie this season and I think its right that the club supports them in doing what they can to turn the Gorgie stand into a proper singing section, complete with safe standing.

Jambo-Fox Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Safe seating is the way forward! Let’s be honest current seating is dangerous. Even in the new stand at Tynecastle there’s nothing to stop you from falling forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I dunno you from Adam mate and whilst I’ve no reason not to believe you, I cannot help but think this is BS. And the sole reason for doing so? Because the thought of it is too good to be true. If the entire bottom section of the Gorgie was made into safe standing, with all the flags/tifos etc that would bring, it would be an absolute game changer. Tynecastle would almost overnight become far more of the bear pit it’s always threatened to be. We’ve got the steepest stands in Scotland, and players (both in our team and the opposition) have always mentioned that it feels like the fans are on top of them when playin there. Add into the mix that there could be anything up to a thousand bodies bouncing up and down “on top of them” and our ground has just gone up tenfold in terms of atmosphere. Im 46 year auld and creamin myself at the thought of it to be honest 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there but to be honest, I'd already spent £500 on a ST and the thought of spending a further £30 to have to listen to songs about the IRA from a full School End... wasn't appealing. I can understand why some didn't. I prefer matches against non-arsecheek clubs. I know some parents who just won't take their kids to games involving the arsecheeks because the bigotry is disgusting. A home QF against Auchinleck Talbot would have sold more tickets. Nailed it! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting or standing is optional … both are catered for!! All I know is that having the rail makes it safer even it’s just to access your seat. So yes overall having the standing option does make it safer! And tbh I was very anti but having experienced it in a few stadiums for me it’s the way forward!

kila Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 1 hour ago, hughesie27 said: Sitting is safe than standing. 100% of the time. Yes, but do you stay sitting when something happens on the pitch, such as a goal? Even in an all seated section, a low barrier to the row in front would help stop you falling forward in such situations, including arriving late after kick off while pished. Right now there's nothing. I think that's Fox's point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upgotheheads Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I've not been following the safe standing issue but I noticed that there was an area at Kilmarnock quite high up in their west stand that was standing. It sounds logical to put standing areas at the back but it wouldn't work at Tynecastle, for me anyway. Although I am quite old I can make the hike to the top row once, maybe twice, but then to have to stand for 90 minutes wouldn't work. I'm guessing that standing areas below the gangway wouldn't interfere with anyone view though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
