Safe Standing at St Andrews

I had not realised that the revamped stadium has installed safe standing in home and away ends. So there will be a safe standing option for us on March 12th.

There was safe standing last year at Cardiff City. Many of us stood at Stamford Bridge and previously we had safe standing at Spurs.

Good to see a famous old ground like St Andrews getting investment
I'd not been for a canny while, but was there last season and was genuinely shocked at its' demise. A lot of the lower tiers closed off and the concourse/toilets in the away end were like scenes from the 1970's.

I think the lower tiers were closed because there was an issue with asbestos that needed to be encapsulated and then removed before it could reopen to fans.
 
There is safe standing in the away end at QPR this year also I believe. One of the sections is listed as rail seating. Makes no difference as youre often standing the whole game anyway.

Still £30 a ticket. I want a seat for that price.

In every case we have seen so far safe seating has proper seats.
There aee many grounds in Gernany etc where they are metal seats but so far in this country all those we have visited are the system with individual safety rails and proper seats.

I should hope so. Imagine expecting the fans to sit on cardboard boxes and calling it safe seating. You could go right through them things and damage your coccyx.
Who do I complain to?

think it was corrosion too with the structural steel supporting the lower tiers. it was a right mess which resulted in them having to demolish the lower tiers.

They had built a new structure straight on top of the old terraces that once formed a great bowl around 3 sides of old St Andrews.
 
we've just installed safe standing, starting with saturdays game v man city. its only on the upper rows in the home stand behind the goal, and the whole of the away section. has caused a lot of moaning & groaning doing it mid-season, as it mainly affects season ticket holders, a lot of who struggle to stand for 90 mins (this is bormuff remember) and have been offered the chance to relocate to a different location in the ground - people aren't happy. personally, am very much looking fwd to it.
 
Safe standing for QPR away also.
91 in the upper and 25 in the lower.
Seems like a gesture in a 3k allocation.
£37 in the upper tier (if you want to see the pitch).
