so what about virtually every premiership/championship side that plays away from home ??
or don't they count either ??
They don't tend to stand all game. Just certain moments during the action.

You're wasting your breath Mick, the concept of unselfishness and having consideration for those less able, is an alien concept to those who don't want to appear "uncool" in front of their mates.Spare me the inverted snobbery.
Once upon a time, certainly. Players earned up to £20 a week and travelled to matches on the bus with the fans. Factories and other works closed Saturday lunchtime and the working class headed for the match (without feeling the need to sing obscenities throughout it).
Times have changed. Players at the top level are obscenely wealthy and the game is now for families to enjoy as much as the "working class". Men, women and children all are (should be) welcome. Working class ? The new euphemism for those who want to behave in a manner generally not tolerated outside of a football ground and act with no consideration to others.
I have no problem with standing at a football ground (well, actually I do physically, but I mean the concept),
All grounds could benefit from standing and seating areas - you pays your money and takes your choice. However when that situation doesn't exist and the club have been unwilling to segregate an area (as they have at Roots Hall) for standing it really is quite selfish to stand throughout and block the view of those less able to stand.
No, I know, but it was obvious to everyone that we'd need more than the away stand./QUOTE]
Possibly, but I doubt our club will put their hands up for another block of seats until the whole of the South Stand was sold out (finances etc).

have a look at the man city v sunderland or stoke v man u games yesterday just to name 2 !!
Scott, that's a bit condescending. We're all supporters, some can't go as often as others for a variety of reasons, doesn't make them any less of a supporter.Christ you can tell the games the day trippers have made the effort to go to :zzzzz::zzzzz::zzzzz:
The ticket office can only sell tickets in the order as dictated by the hosting team, they won't "pick and choose".Those of you that have been to these kind of games before are well aware that this was always going to be a tough game to sit through.
If you wanted to sit may I suggest asking for a front row seat at the next big one. I stood yesterday and it was never in doubt.
Oh my god, an essex derby on boxing day and people are moaning about someone kicking a chair and a old boy getting wobbled??. Get real you bunch of muppets was a great day and these things are always going to happen unfortunately in the heat of the moment.
