I see that the authorities have not approved this in England. I occasionally peruse the BBC comments as they can be entertainingly rabid. The comments below from the BBC are well informed and put across my argument very well.


I regularly attend away games where everyone stands. Several times I've nearly gone flying over seats when celebrating - it would be far safer to stand helped by the right infrastructure.


Tragic disasters have been caused by human incompetence but the point is to root out the mistakes and learn. The cruise industry did not cease when Titanic sank. Modern safe standing is safe due to learning.


What does ED reckon? Lots of safe standing at our local club and better still beer too! A permanent ground would help but that is another issue.

I'd love to have terraces back. Most German clubs have terraces and when European matches come along they just bring in seats and fix them into place, then easily removed for domestic fixtures. A genius idea.

I think clubs should introduce a small terraced area as a pilot study and see how it goes.

As others have pointed out Celtic manage it, Dortmund and many others. Man U were considering it yonks ago rather than having to extend their ground. I was at a crowded match in 1980 and the police (did the stewarding then) opened up the gates to move us to the less crowded side pens to ease the crush. Not rocket science. Having said that many I know in their 20s seem to have not desire to have standing. Seeing the small Liverpool contingent tonight I'd also raise the Away fan allocation.


Last time I saw it unlimited was Wimbledon vs Leeds and they simply kept on opening additional blocks in the Arthur Waite as numbers swelled.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
