We should be standing for the whole game...
To counter the mexican wave and to show real support we should just stand for the whole game.
It happens at Anfield and other places....It says a lot...
Maybe on The Kop it happens but NOT in the rest of the ground.Originally Posted by craig7042

Wasnt there uproar at Old Trafford a few years ago when fans were threatened with expulsion if they stood and blocked the view of the prawn sangwichers.
yeah but how can you stand up for the boys in green if you are already standing ? thats half our repertoire gone !!
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
Trouble with that idea is that there are a lot of elderly who can't stand for the whole game. Also the small kids can't see when everyone is standing.
Mind you even though we have a great view in the lower Cusack most people still stood up whenever there was a half chance anyway.
A chant of "You can stick your wave up your ars*" might have more effect.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Definitely need more songs, I thought we were supposed to be a nation of poets and songsters anyway, hardly living up to the name. Was there ever any progress on the singing section?

Stand up for the whole game?? I was in the upper tier of the cusack stand right at the front and i'd sh*t myself if i'd to stand up the whole time. I mean there was a 3 foot wall in front of me protecting from a 200 foot drop!! great view though
what is the point of an all seater stadium if everybody is standing. it is unsafe
In Croker standing also blocks the view of wheelchair users - probably the same in many modern stadia where disabled facilities are integrated with the corporate/hospitality level.
With a Smith & Wesson 38,
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate.
There is a campaign to bring back terraces in some countries right now. It works in Germany. I think it would be great idea. No more bucket seats. Does anyone on here remember the friendly gamea gainst Poland at Dalyer when the crowd sang "Come On You Boys In Green" for over 20 mins? Them were the days!
Man United fans got in trouble a few years ago because they refused to sit down at home matches. It was only in the Stretford End i think though. Its not a runner to stand for the whole game. Too many kids and pensioners at the games.
Not to mention, technically illegal under fifa and uefa law unless they budge significantly on the matter on an individual case. tbh, given all the tragedies that occured during the terraced days of stadiums, its not a good idea!!!what is the point of an all seater stadium if everybody is standing. it is unsafe
illiteracy and alphabet soup hmm?
it does happen in Anfield - in big euro nights and only on the kop.
Probably the only place it does happen, and it can never happen in the whole ground.
The wheelchair seats are at the back of the lower Cusack which means that everytime the fans stand up disabled people can't see a thing.
A singing section has to be introduced so that everyone that stands and sings will be in the same part of the ground. People that tell others that are creating an atmosphere to sit down shouldn't be at the game (unless they're unable to stand).
That only happens in England and Scotland, look at other countries in Europe and most behind the nets stand.
I was speaking to a wheelchair user after the game on wednesday and they found it very fustrating trying to watch the game as everytime people stood up he could see nothing.

Until UEFA/FIFA change their rules its not going to happen.
When you pay between 50 and 85 euro for a seat you are entitled to sit down and watch the game and not have some attention seeking gobsh*te spend the whole game standing up, usually with their back to the pitch, urging others to join them. Then if you have the temerity to tell the eejit to sit down be told you shouldn't be at the game. Bizarre
Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.
The way around this problem is to have the wheelchair section of the ground towards the front of the stand.
Nonsense. If a singing section is implemented everyone there will stand and sing for the whole game regardless whether it is a seated area or terraced, as could be seen in sections of the Lower Davin.
Anybody that goes to a game to sit down and stay silent for 90 minutes should stay at home (unless they can't stand for whatever reason). The only way is to give them their own section so they won't be able to try prevent other fans creating an atmosphere.When you pay between 50 and 85 euro for a seat you are entitled to sit down and watch the gameNever knew supporting your team was classified as "attention seeking".and not have some attention seeking gobsh*te spend the whole game standing up, usually with their back to the pitch, urging others to join them.

Who said anything about staying silent? You are surely not suggesting a prerequisite for supporting your team is that you stand throughout a game? or, that you cannot create an atmosphere without standing?
I think you know exactly the point I was making!
