DOZEY Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Dunfermline fans are currently petitioning the Scotish Parliament again for a controled standing area in East End Park. If they were successful, it could pave the way for other clubs such as ourselves to have a designated standing area, although at present the SPL would not allow it, with the likes of QoS & Ross County stregnthening year on year if a club was to be promoted to the SPL with terracing, the chaps at Dunfermline are hopeful that the SPL would allow the use of these if they are successful. If anyone is interested in adding their signature to the petition, the link is below. http://epetitions.scottish.parliament.uk/sign_petition.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dipped Flake Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Signed, absolute joke that we are forced to sit in half-empty grounds while in Germany they play to large crowds and have standing areas in all of them. Standing areas are just as safe as seated ones, the only thing that needs to be controlled is the number of people allowed in to a standing section.

What we would need is an MSP who would genuinely push for this, otherwise it's pointless.

bighusref Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Dunfermline can stick it up their farter. The British F.A.'s made their decision post Taylor report to outlaw terracing. They were not made to do so by the report, they simply chose to. Even if a lower league club like Dunfermline get some sort of grace, it will be removed as soon as they are promoted, if they are ever promoted, as the constraints are further embellished by the SPL's own rules; 10,000 all seater stadia necessary for entry.

I agree with the main points of your post BH - one minor point is that the SPL relaxed their rules to 6K seats which enabled Falkirk & Inverness to play home games in the SPL. I think the rules on all-seated stadia should be amended and terracing areas re-introduced should clubs to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Herbertson Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'd sign it if I could find it. I liked standing - more atmosphere. I tried the lnk but all I found were petitions and none of them seemed to be about Dunfermline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I do not see it as being remotely possible at the moment. I certainly have no inclination to help Dunfermline either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRING BACK THE TERRACES. Its my new home ground, been to their last few games. Atmosphere is brilliant. Got my tickets for the jacks visit on the 5th. Need to stay up all night as its an 11am k.o. Terracing for a derby will be great. They are all gutted about moving up to the plastic stadium up the road. Its nice from the inside but bowfing from the outside. Plus its fully seated and you cant have a tab at half time outside, prob have to sneak to the bogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debtor Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 It will never happen at the top level. Even if folks stand now at least the seats give some space. Terracing has gone, and for big crowds it is dangerous anyway. Too much of that crushing in the past. For smaller crowds it is fine - so will never suit the Hearts again!

4marsbars Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 All ten of them, i stand at fitba anyawy as do all around me Well obviously some of the people "around" you will have to stand if you're standing. Do you sit down if asked politely? I'll spare you my usual rant about my old dad giving up going to matches after sitting behind a group of standers (well, there's the shorter version). As it happens, I stand too quite often, but in the back row. I've no objection to standing sections, but it's never going to happen and, I think, unfortunate timing for this campaign, 20th anniversary of Hillsborough (sp).

frankblack Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Won't happen. Purely from the safety perspective, in an all-seater ground, people that have got in without tickets won't be able to take a seat (in a sell-out match) - no risk of crushing. Hillsborough (sp?) was caused by the police and stewards letting in a substantial number of people without tickets and in terracing you have a problem. As others have said, the FAs of Scotland and England support the Taylor report, and the Police will never advocate returning to terracing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankblack Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 we need to move on from 1989 and realise that we can have safe standing areas at football games ffs. The fact of the matter is that all-seated stadia is considered safer, and there is no compelling reason or will in the powers that be to change it. Anyway, Tynie is considered to be one of the most atmospheric grounds in the country is it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
