Can't say I'd ever been in the main stand, but there is something aesthetically pleasing about the stadium now that it is the same level all the way around (and no one has a pillar right in front of them). Just got to love the steepness of those stands behind the goals. Maybe not walking down them after a few, and the genuine fear you are about to fall down about 10 steps...

I'll mention something I noticed, which I haven't seen anywhere else, now granted, this is a while back, maybe its changed, But they had steps at the end of the stands for people to access their seats, now to the side of the steps, there was a column of single seats on their own, each row had a single seat at the absolute end of the stand. Just why? Saying that, cracking wee stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic done it for a certain 'section' of people who attended their home games (I deliberately won't call them football fans for obvious reasons).

Sorry, in General, personal opinion btw, but I believe an atmosphere is better achieved when standing. Yeah, we were in them in Germany , its basically safe terracing with the added bonus of increasing capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know soccer only lasts ninety minutes but the safety of the supporters should always be paramount. Absolutely, safety first, Rail seating gives you the safety with the added bonuses too.

I only have experience of standing at a ground from national/One and two league days so not sure how it would effect a large ground. At the Sub it was all seated but then games were longer, The WACA had the grass banks but never a problem. Yes they can, as they are higher up in the same way the person in a seat is higher than the person below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but thats not rail seating, some English clubs are looking at the option, so you might get to see it first hand soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
