Petrol station? It will have pool for those in the suites. So there’s that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a pleasant change from the generic bowl. Agreed. Safe standung is a myth. It's just a different kind of seat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmadrid Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Progress at Spurs, however I am not sure if this will be ready for August or after the September international break. Seats going into the big end at Spurs The roof going on The facade coming along as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 That facade looks horrible. Might be alright if they colour it in. The Palace stand looks nice but I was hoping they would move to somewhere less of a pain to get to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is large problem of both the "all standing is safe!!!!!" and "safe standing is still a risk!!!" argument. Both sides are incredibly disengoenous with with this argument. Yes standing without barriers is safe on the basis nobody moves from their slot on the terrace. But in large crowds people do move. Do you expect uneducated stewards on a low wage with meh training to solve this issue when it escalates? As someone whose worked with those with a license that says they're "qualified" for worst situations then, no, I definitely don't. On the flip side the idea that all standing is abhorrent and another stadium disaster waiting to happen assuming standing is reintroduced is absolute fucking nonsense. At Thistle we stand the entire game in one stand, with several hundred of us and without issue. However there are seats separating us so I can see the argument of "safe standing". The middle ground seems a reasonable comprise and one that looks to prevent any real horrors occurring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
