Stand up for Choice

[RHB]

There is an article currently on the Club Official site which gives Southend supporters a link to an EFL survey site on standing preferences at football matches, and thus Roots Hall.

If you are interested give it a go, it doesn't take long.

Even if you don't want to stand at football matches support this initiative anyway. It's all about choice. If those who want to stand are in a safe standing area, they won't be standing in front of you!

I completed mine.
Personally, I now prefer to sit but fully support those that would like a dedicated area to stand as many moons ago when I was a lot younger I enjoyed standing at games.

 

[mattitouk]

All done, only takes about 3 minutes.

 

[HertfordshireBlue]

Done, fully behind it

Sorry, not completing that survey, asks to may personal explicit questions. :nope:

Got to think about online security.

 

[MK Shrimper]

I did it whilst standing up.

 

[johnlattimerssponge]

Completed.
Much prefer to stand at away games and ideally feel it would be good to have a choice at home games as well.

I did it whilst standing up.

I did it whilst sitting down, Very contradictive of me!

And if they powers that be say no, it'll all be your fault. :angry:

And if that turns out to be the case I will take the Millwall stance, Nobody likes us(me), We(I) Don't care! :smiles:

I've answered it. I get the feeling that the way they've put that survey together it's going to sound like the majority are indifferent to the whole thing.

Is this survey more about Premier League clubs offering it. Places like Morcombe, Accrington, Yeovil, AFC Wimbledon etc all have standing for some of their main stands and you usually get a choice of seating or standing.

I agree - it’s that question about “would it make you more likely to attend games?” - for a lot of us, we’d go every week regardless, but having the choice to stand or sit would just make your match day atmosphere better.

It would certainly encourage more people on the day. There has been numerous times the extra man has decided against it because he can't sit with his mates at RH.

But safe standing would still mean an allocated spot in the ground wouldn't it? So not much different to 'normal' seating in that respect.

I'm all for choice here - when I go with my children seating suits us best but on the occasions when I'm going with mates and having a few drinks, standing is far preferable.

 

[ozzie]

done it....

 

[LennySUFC]

Done!

There was also a parliament petition going around regarding safe standing and as it received over 100,000 votes it will be debated in parliament mid June!
