Can we have cushions in the upper? Those seats play havoc with my arthritic knees and hips.

Only reason I sit in the lower smiths is because you get a great view of the game, the atmosphere there is terrible even in the best of games though, no fault of it's own, just the way it is. When I hear them all singing behind the goal makes me wish I was there to join in. All that space in the old Imperial corner...? That's where I used to stand. Plus you get a better view of the game. The safe standing gear in pic above would be ideal for that corner, easy to setup. Then again a lot of people would want standing behind the goal regardless, understandable.

As it helps to clear up any confusion very quickly.
I am still confused as to the official capacity of the 'spokesman' for GTFC That rolled over so easily for the FGR steward enquirey !!!

I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

From the middle of the lower Findus the lads to the right of the Pontoon were in great voice against Bristol PRIOR to and after kick off. Don't really see the point in having a seat fitted when they will almost certainly be locked shut all the time. Unless this is a trial for doing the rest of the stand.

As someone who's campaigned for this, in one from an another, for years, I can't commend the Trust and the club enough. You can pick at this or that, the location, the open side, the cost - but this is a massive step forward for all concerned, so hats off.
Also, after spending an afternoon on twitter talking about this, I've decided there can't be a more ignorant, thick, self-pitying set of grief junkies than Liverpool fans. Truly astounded at how thick some of them are, absolute pig ignorance hiding behind a Hillsborough banner. Embarrassing.

Like. Agree entirely.

I wasn't really picking at the open side. It's been mentioned time and time again as a relatively easy solution to the atmosphere problem at BP. I assume that there is probably good visibility of that particular area from the police box and that probably means we won't get the side filled in.

it's really pleasing to see how well the club and fans are now working together with the help of the Mariners' Trust
ps some slogans that may or may not be used...
"you can stand behind us, you can stand beside us, but you can't stand in our way"
or my personal favourite:
"safe standing - you want it, you pay for it"

They should just take out the seats and put some of the old type crush barriers back in the pontoon. This would be lots cheaper plus it would increase the capacity
