There was a fantastic video advert on west broms big screen on sat

About some kid looking forward to seeing his team play, when they scored he couldnt see as everyone was stood up before the goal. Message was clear that fans shoos remain seated during play so that everyone could enjoy the experience. Great advert and yet the stewards weren't at all bothered about both home and away supporters standing throughout so it was kind of pointless as they didn't try to implement it.

That's why safe standing is the answer to that debate. I wouldn't take my kid away from home as he/she probably wouldn't be able to see the action.

How do parents' on here feel about standing at matches?
