Was just next to it in D and thought it was great. Really spread across the whole Holmesdale at times as well with us all still singing as the players left the pitch.

would be nice to have a positive thread on it not overtaken by the unfortunately affected by the move, as someone very keen to be involved i loved it on Sunday, really excited not just for next season but the overall hopeful future of a completely bouncing lower tier. HF have done a great job and the band pre match although before my time were great and i really enjoyed it, hopefully this is the start of people looking forward to the future.

I was in E, row 13 and it was superb. Still can’t speak. It’s is clearly for the best and it was great to see so many people supporting the idea. It will take a bit of time for it to be as effective for league games. My fear is that those at the back of F and D will need to stand when the action is in the near corner flags, although I think D stand anyway.- The ideal scenario would be for safe standing to become legal, turn the entire lower tier into safe standing and those who want to sing/stand will gradually congregate around the HF. At that point, once SS has been passed, HF should move to the front of E so everyone behind can follow their lead. Didn’t answer your question on D/F though, sorry!

I was in block F row 22 and was 3 seats along than my normal one. There wasn’t many of my normal friends who I sit with as seats were sold before they could get them. Thought the atmosphere was very good but I had to stand for the full match. Normally I sit and just stand occasionally when an attack is on my far right and others stand which means I need to. Wouldn’t like to stand every match though and I’m reluctant to move elsewhere as those I sit with for league matches would find it difficult to get so many seats together elsewhere plus it wouldn’t be easy to arrange as most of us are just together for home matches and don’t really know each other outside of the home games. Also my friend who sits a row in front of me (part of the larger group of us) is 10 years older than me - I’m 62 - has bad knees (ex postman) and couldn’t stand all match and therefore went elsewhere at halftime so that he could sit down. Even though atmosphere was better (don’t like drum though) I would rather have a working seat to watch the majority of the match unlike last Sunday. Would rather the fanatic went back to previous block A but I’m sure those around the ground that can see the fanatics feel differently?

What stand will you move to when the lower holmesdale inevitably becomes safe standing? Do you reckon you'd move to the upper or could you stand for 90 mins with a rail in front of you to lean on. Genuinely interested what people will do.

Where will you go when the HF demand your seat and you don't qualify as one of them? Will you go and stand on your own in the Sainsbury's end bouncing around like tigger, happy that you've been shafted for the greater good?

I'm not talking about the fanatics, read my post. I'm talking about safe standing/rail seating!

Genuinely interested in what people will do when it's them and not others having their seats taken. Here we go again :rolleyes: If you genuinely want to know (like you say) then go and read the other thread as there are pages and pages on just that subject

They've future proofed the stadium and have cautioned season ticket holders that their section might, in future, be subject to converting to safe standing. This has to go through government first and has a few barriers to overcome first. I'm not sure it's particularly becoming to say "I appreciate your concern" to a long term season ticket holder and then imply that they're going to have to stand anyway or move so what are they going to do about it, when the facts of the matter don't support this. The only reason they would have to move seats is if they are forced to during another seat grab by the HF.
