    Nice try, but I didn't say that, did I? Read the post again (or get someone to explain it to you)

    J Block, and IA, if you were standing but still couldnt see the game, would it not bother you?

    Not really. I'd try to get to see the game by moving somewhere else.

    Anyway, if someone asked me to sit down, I'd either do so or move to another spot where I wouldn't be a nuisance.

    That's fair enough - everyone's entitled to an opinion. Like I said, I'd prefer to be able to stand, but since the vast majority of people who follow us don't, then I haven't really got achance (unless I want to look and be a complete c*** to my fellow supporters). Show me something that asks for a return to safe standing at football and I'll sign it. Ask me to vote and I'll vote for it. Until then, if someone asks you to 'SIDDAAAARN'... then sidddaaarn :o)

    IA, that sounds fair enough, lets hope everyone else is of the same mindset!, if anyone at the front of the upper wants to swap 3 seats for nearer the back (row17) then let me know!

    Thing is if someone behind me asks me politely can I sit down I will do. But then I'll have to ask the person in front of me to sit down because the man behind me wants to sit down. Then he will have to ask the person in front of him to sit down. Anyway hoping I can stand

    If some one asks me to sit don't get me wrong I will do I just don't think it should be made into a big deal if everyone is sitting then sit and visa versa.

    J Block says: "Len.... the fact is that if people are standing in front of you then they have just as much right to stand and experience the whole match atmosphere than sitting down, why should you take priority over anyone else standing. I think it's time you go to grips with the modern football culture. Be prepared to deal with it."

    The point is J Block, your arguments are all the wrong way round. Whether we like all seater stadiums or not (and that's quite a different argument) it's perverse for you to talk about "just as much right to stand". There isn't such a right. You can't claim that people who want (or need) to sit are being unreasonable if they ask fellow supporters not to obstruct their view. It's you who need to deal with that. Not the other way round. Personally I might well choose to stand if there were areas where this was permitted but, the rules being as they are, personal preferences are not really the point here are they?

    OK MR wise guy

    You pick the cinema or place of cultural dissemination of your choice and then we'll have a Peter Tatchell-esque debate about the cancer on our society that is standing at football

    I'm not saying they are unreasonable but have the same right in terms of that is football, whether you agree or not fans tend to stand and I think if at Spurs tommorow the vast majority of people are standing I don't think that if fans in the middle of the stand want to sit and make the 500 people infront of them sit too is fair just as much as if it was the other way around.

    I don't go to the cinema. Last time I went to the theatre I stood at the back

    And let's not, thanks. Maybe another time.

    Wow we've really hit a nerve looking at some people's comments.
    Self-stewarding or whatever you want to call it, Leyton Orient style.
    Done.

    (I'm aware this cannot be done for tottenham but it's the best way to do things, you cannot stop people standing when theres a thousand odd people doing it so just let them move to the back and the sitters go to the front.)
