We had “five star” and “seventh heaven”, but I didn’t hear “hit for six”. KEIGHREN OUT! where does JK sit because there were a couple of things that we saw from top of the Cheadle end but he didn't see them

where does JK sit because there were a couple of things that we saw from top of the Cheadle end but he didn't see them Back of the Main Stand in the press area; right on the halfway line. Best overall view in EP but there will always be things that can’t be seen regardless of where you sit. Players blocking views, angles on things. Not everyone has bionic eyes matbot.

I’m not surprised. The general consensus among Sutton fans I know was that if they wanted to stay up they needed to change. Shame really Madness. Why Sutton overactived massively. Whilst I accept they won't stay up losing their side to Wimbledon may have something to do with it. Keep him let him rebuild and you stand the best chance of getting out of nl. I suspect they'll get one of the usual suspects. Predicted this earlier in the week. No shock to me in present day football. Just wonder if those knocking suttons decision are the same ones who wanted simpson gone back in 2011. Lot depends on who they appoint next as they,ll have a chance if they avoid ex players or poundland forign coaches.

But people no matter how hard core should also take into account that the people sat behind them may be unable to stand up due to medical conditions, what would you do to cater for them, a lot of which will be elderly so have probably been going for 50 years They weren’t elderly and clearly hadn’t been going for 50 years. They were on one of their very first trips to EP, obvious from what they were saying and how they were behaving. I know newcomers won’t know this but LT1 is a de facto standing area. Has been for years now. I’m sure you’ll point to something about the ground being all seater and regulations and all that but it’s tens of people that stand, not just one or two. It’s part of the fabric of a match day now, most in LT1 stand. That’s good, but did you notice that one of them had a prosthetic leg, or the one with the broken ankle boot on, or the one on statins whose leg muscles have been destroyed by them. I am of course being facetious , but just trying to point out that a little consideration goes a long way, I am in 2 of those groups being elderly and no leg muscle left and did come across this at Morecambe, I just tapped the person in front and explained that I couldnt stand for more than a few minutes and we sorted it, they moved slightly to the right, we moved slightly to the left and we were all happy. It’s about consideration and cooperation. If i am sat in a seat anywhere where a kid is sat behind me i will move seat so that the adult is behind me as I may block the child’s view being tallish

If i am sat in a seat anywhere where a kid is sat behind me i will move seat so that the adult is behind me as I may block the child’s view being tallish I didn't notice them, because none of those things applied. And as I say, it's not a case of one or two people stood up in a sea of people sitting down, there's probably 100-150 stood up from Row P to Row Y at the top of LT1. hardly anybody who is a regular in that part of LT1 sits down, other than at half time. If it was just one or two people persistently standing and blocking the view of everyone else wanting to sit down then I agree that's annoying. But it isn't. It's the regular behaviour of many, many more people and has been for over a decade. Quite how the club solves that, other than advising people buying tickets for LT1 that a lot of people stand throughout games, I'm not sure. But it's important to recognise standing isn't just a few inconsiderate people in LT1. Look at away followings of almost every club in the Premier League and Football League. Almost every game they're in seated areas of grounds, except for a handful that still offer terraces. In almost every case, the vast majority are stood up throughout the game. To a lesser extent home games too. But it's very noticeable at aways. Not every single person is inconsiderate. And 3000 United fans aren't all stood up because one or two somewhere in the stand refuse to sit down. It's normal behaviour from match going fans. But none of this is really a problem anyway. You said yourself you solved it Morecambe by having a word and the fella was receptive. 90% of the home end sits down, it's only really LT1, a handful in LT6 and the back of yellow block who stand.

Do we make LT1 a possible trial area for safe standing? Sort it once and for all, I'd have preferred it to be central but that has certainly been a standing area for a long time.

I would have kept Simpson and the ONLY reason why I would have been happy to see him leave was if Jim had been signed sealed and delivered instead of him. He wasn't we should have kept Simpson and he'd have just about kept us up.

Someone who sits up there will know better than me but it looks to be a few rows towards the back rather than most of the block.

I can't quite remember if LT1 was confirmed as the spot, but it has definitely been said by people at the club we've looked at safe standing in the CE previously. Would make sense to have it there, anywhere more central would surely obstruct the view of the neighbouring blocks? If it does go ahead in LT1, please can all the giddy kids/drums please stay well away. Can't be doing with that thing banging away in my ear for 90 mins.

You'd still need an allocated spot in that area, it's not just a free for all like an old school terrace otherwise it's not safe standing. Trial it for existing LT1 season ticket holders and see how it goes. But if you haven't got a ticket for that block, you can't access it.

Yes, true if it was central the whole LT's would need to stand, LT1 is a perfect test bed and like you say it stays safe by only allowing those in with a ticket.
