At U Peter Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Brilliant news. I wonder how Celtic are going to allocate the tickets for these areas now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Great news. Hopefully it is introduced all over including Hampden Very much doubt it, as UEFA/FIFA events have to be seated (in Germany the seats have to be put back in for when teams play in Europe or the national team are using the stadium).

wanderer Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 He never mentioned UEFA events though. Would seem pointless for Hampden.... just for 2 cup finals and couple of semi finals.... when Queens Park have no need for it the rest of the time and Scotland are unable to make use of it.

The seats are not removed in the first place , they are folded back under the railing behind, thats how the germans and austrians got it passed by uefa/fifa .

Yeah, I saw the safe standing Scotland mock up when they had a road show back in 2012.... there is a locking mechanism along the rows which is locked to take the seats out for standing games, and unlocked to put the seats back in for seated games when required, but I suspect people will just stand anyway regardless if there seat folds down or now.

You're completely missing the point. There's so few games at Hampden where standing could be used they'd be as well just keeping 'normal' seats.

wembley67lisbon Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thankfully I've just got my ST in an area that's been earmarked for it. 209.110,111,112. 2600 odd places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return of Yermaw Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 from 16/17. 15/16 would be better but suppose work needs to be carried out. This will hopefully pave the way for all Scottish clubs with all-seaters who want it, to start the process of introducing it - we will then see which local authorities are complete job's worths. With this, the pyramid system and play-offs, my wish list is becoming shorter. Now just awaiting: - summer football - rebranding (completely separate and distinguishable from the EPL) - alcohol permitted in grounds - better pre-match entertainment to encourage you to go to the ground and stadia area earlier (and contribute to the club's revenue). linked to the above point. At the current pace, maybe all of the above within 5 years......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
