thats exactly what safestanding would eliminate.

...People want to stand, but are not given the option.

If the option to stand was there, people standing in seated areas would not have an arguement. They would have to sit.

"People will get used to sitting at football matches" was the line that Lord Justice Taylor rolled out all those years ago and here we are 25 years later, employing blokes in jackets asking people to sit.

Its there for all to see, a large percentage of football fans want to stand, and are actually doing so pretty unsafely week in, week out, because the authorities won't look at a safe alternative to a ruling that came out of the arse of the Taylor Report, something we all know is bollocks.
