Noted on the Stand Up Sit Down website:

An Ipswich Town supporter reports on his experiences at their away game v Southend as follows:

‘ Southend yesterday with Ipswich is a perfect example of how it should be. The seating was unreserved seating. This means that all those who want to sit i.e. old and disabled, could sit at the front. They sat in the first and second rows and the rest behind all stood. We had a right old sing song and it was one of the better away games I've been to.

This is how it should be:

1. Those who want to sit can.
2. Those who want to stand CAN!
3. A good old atmosphere.

The stand at Southend was small so how could there be any danger. It was designed to be a terrace anyway and they bolted seats on. Things that are designed to do one thing shouldn't be changed (e.g. a narrow road is not designed for cars and it is impossible to get down them). They should have just left the terrace how it was...'


I wonder if someone at the club would care to comment?
