Because nearly all away fans stand up at games

I went to 9 away games last season and everyone stood up at all of them.

These new safe standing areas are far safer than the old terracing, also standing in seated area is far more dangerous.

I personally broke a rib at Chelsea because I fell over a seat and ended up on the row below me.

Germany do it now at most of their grounds and even the German Police endorse it as being safer.

These new safe standing areas also have a drop down seat for European games. The crash barrier runs the whole length of the terraces eliminating surging caused by the old style barriers.

Google images has plenty of examples, you can easily see it is safer
