i meant people who are willing and able to stand for long periods of time

not really the right words to use, i admit, that's why the less able shouldn't be punished. But the atmosphere of a snake pit or a block D all on their feet singing is important at a football ground. In France you don't get that, even when the grounds have terracing, because people treat it like a game of tennis or a nice classical music concert. Let's not end up like that.
