South Stand has been standing for years 
There's been standing at most grounds for years, there were 6,000 standing at Preston, with zero trouble

We wouldn't have been restricted to 6,000 with safe standing.South Stand has been standing for years

We would I think. Isn’t safe standing essentially folded up seats within rails and and tickets are still 1 person per seat? Might be wrong though.

Have a look at the difference in capacity for Dortmund's home games in domestic and European games.

Yep, fair point well made. I hadn’t really looked into it, just assumed. Cheers

It will be interesting to see the revenue projections.
A stadium currently selling out will add revenue.
For the rest -
Lower ticket prices might attract a few more.
Others will take opportunity to ‘trade down’
Plus you have the capital cost
There is probably something to learn from how the others fared financially.

Of course it will !
If not, seat prices will rise......prices for standing will not come down
Real standing as we knew it (Holgate, South Terrace, Boys End) will never come back unfortunately

Depends if you can get a squeeze! It should be a couple of quid cheaper I say in hope.

There is no squeeze that’s the point it’s exactly the same as seating one seat one person.
As above this romantic notion that old school standing is to come back people are going to be disappointed.

Why are Rugby Clubs allowed terracing such as St Helens new ground and the redeveloped Headingley then?
Who has the largest standing terrace in leagues one, two or the conference .. Peterborough?

Its 2022 youd think football would have lost this tag by now but the pitch invasions last season proved that some things will never change.
If the Hillsborough disaster hadnt happened would we have seen so many new stadiums being built?
Ayresome Park in 2022 wouldnt have been fit for purpose or the likes of Roker Park or an undeveloped SJP

Add ibrox into that
You should not jump to the conclusion that rail seating would be cheaper for fans.
Rail seats can cost far more than ordinary seats to buy and insert. It can result in a slightly smaller capacity. Safety officers can ask for seats to be removed to have wider aisles.
We will see rail seats when we travel to Cardiff. There is rail seating in the away end, where you truly have a choice to sit or stand.
It is about choice and safety but is unlikely to mean cheaper pricing for fans.

There isnt really a choice though when the people in front stand in their seats.
