I always stand in the Kop
When you think about it there’s an irony to that comment.
The Hillsborough disaster made the government look at football stadia as a whole and they (the suits) decided that all seater was the answer.
Now we have a situation where most of the Kop at Anfield stand, or at least that’s what it looks like, yet a ground forty odd miles away from the biggest terrace in England has to sit down to watch a game.
Buggered if I know the answer but it does seem very strange.
Standing wasn’t what caused the unlawful killing of football fans in 1989
There’s a huge difference between controlled stewardship, penned (caged) areas and standing up.
All seater stadia was a ‘part’ of the requirements of the Taylor report, not the main requirement.
I never stand where I choose to the detriment of anybody, I stand behind my seat and I only do that if I am not doing so so as to impinge upon anybody else’s pleasure, safety or comfort. Because I’m a reasonable adult (generally)
