I have noticed more and more clubs have massive standing sections at their grounds now. Forest have it by the away fans, so a good half a stand of standing. Ipswich have it behind their goal, to the left as you look out from the camera. Leeds stand at both ends behind the goals, and so on.
I know there has been a lot of talk about safe standing and that coming in, but that is years away so a bit irrelevant.
At QPR, our stewards are bastards, and they throw you out if you are standing, other than in one section and even then they try to chuck us out every game. Yet, they let the away fans stand all game.
How does your club tackle the standing issue? Do they say "if you purchase tickets here then you will be standing" or anything alone those lines?
We have recently started saying "If you want to be in the liveliest section the get tickets in blocks Q upper, Q lower and R block".
