Can somebody explain to me have we still got safe standing areas at Molineux.
I think the official answer is no. We have rail seating and should the government ever deem the act of standing up to watch a football match to be safe in rail seating we have the ability to allow it.Can somebody explain to me have we still got safe standing areas at Molineux.
Thanks guys understand now ........I thinkI think that if we'd have been part of this trial, nothing would've changed for the South Bank.
So, we're already doing what United, City, Cardiff etc have just been granted permission to do. Pretty pointless for us to sign up IMO as the only benefit was for away fans, why spend for them?
Strangest thread ever, sensible question, three answers that all agree and polite gratitude. This will never catch on!Thanks guys understand now ........I think
Early days, wait till we get to page 150, following an argument about safety concerns. Someone is bound to have been on a course about it.Strangest thread ever, sensible question, three answers that all agree and polite gratitude. This will never catch on!

In reality of course yes, 5500 people risk their lives every other week and watch from the South Bank without the use of a seat. Also the quadrant where I assume people stand but haven't been to check.
Our position is unchanged as we dropped out of the trial to save having to install rail seating for away fans.
Please delete the thread now in case I've let the cat out of the bag!
Not sure how these are safer.
Someone will crack their head open on the metal poles one day
Is there a bell end course? If so, how much did it cost you??Early days, wait till we get to page 150, following an argument about safety concerns. Someone is bound to have been on a course about it.
Can the pair of you not start on each other again, and in the process derail what's been a decent thread, please.Is there a bell end course? If so, how much did it cost you??
Sorry, my level of irony is rarely too subtle. For my money it was safe in 1989 when I stood on the terrace that Thatcher's crew said wasn't safe, still safe in the 2000 when Jez used to have to get stewards to stop people standing, and now it's about as safe as humanly possible even though we're supposed to be sitting down officially. All beyond laughable that anyone thinks we need a 'trial' to check.can yow explain how we are risking ar lives,in a rail standing area which has got to be one of the safest places to stand in the ground.
wasn't it one of Thatcher's side kicks ? (might be wrong), that became the director of a struggling seating company just before it became law,Sorry, my level of irony is rarely too subtle.

Do tell morewasn't it one of Thatcher's side kicks ? (might be wrong), that became the director of a struggling seating company just before it became law,
then got contracts to install this companies seats worth millions, very convenient i think,
apparently its a topic (Politics) not to be discussed on here, with respect i will leave that topic in the cupboard with the other skeletons from that era,Do tell more
Quite right, especially as there is no overlap whatsoever between politics and football. Even though the same police who broke the miner's strike were repaid by the Conservative government in the whitewash of Hillsborough which lead to no justice for the 96 for 30 years and all seater grounds for the rest of us. Just saying like...apparently its a topic (Politics) not to be discussed on here, with respect i will leave that topic in the cupboard with the other skeletons from that era,
Probably bribed & got in the VIP lane to deliver the seats like they did with the dodgy PPE to hospitals and care homes. Criminals.wasn't it one of Thatcher's side kicks ? (might be wrong), that became the director of a struggling seating company just before it became law,

I’d love my seat in the lower north back to be converted.Safe standing coming to Molineux next season…
Safe standing areas can be introduced from 2022-23
Premier League and Championship clubs will be allowed to introduce safe standing areas from the start of the 2022-23 season.www.bbc.co.uk
Doubt anything will change , Rail seats already in South Bank and the North Bank Quadrant, Just standing is to be officially allowedWill anything actually change? Some rail seating in the Steve Bull lower?
I wonder whether it may be accompanied with a crackdown on standing in other areas though?Doubt anything will change , Rail seats already in South Bank and the North Bank Quadrant, Just standing is to be officially allowed
Seriously, are they claiming this? World beating safe standing courtesy of your patronisingly working class tolerant Tory government. Absolute ****s.So the Conservatives are claiming they delivered it. And they used the South Bank as their “poster boy” yet we weren’t allowed to take part in the trial.

I couldn’t quite understand it, when the media made a song and dance about Chelsea and United (?) having railed seating/safe standing, calling it the first in the country. Didn’t the South Bank count?So the Conservatives are claiming they delivered it. And they used the South Bank as their “poster boy” yet we weren’t allowed to take part in the trial.

thought we could have applied to take part but decided not to ? might be wrong on that thoughSeriously, are they claiming this? World beating safe standing courtesy of your patronisingly working class tolerant Tory government. Absolute ****s.

that was the reason. We would have to have done the Steve bull lower as wellFairly sure that we opted not to take part in the trial.
I can’t remember why but I think it may have been because of the expense of having to convert part of the visiting fans area to safe standing too, with no guarantee of the trial resulting in full time permission..
Nothing to do with not being allowed.

Can't see the point in locking the seats even if they can as it's nice to sit down at half time! From memory they added one seat per block in the SB, so probably about 200 extra in there, it's pretty snug though. If they did the whole Steve Bull lower it might add 150,but probably more in the fantasy rebuild with a change to the pitch of the concrete. So optimistically towards 90k a season extra (150x20x30). So don't suppose it'll happen until they do something with it anyway (no time soon).Will probably mean the seats can be locked in the standing position. As you suggest, it may also mean the club considers it elsewhere, but without a lift in capacity (as is allowed elsewhere in Europe), I’m not sure I see the justification beyond what they’ve already converted.
Technically we applied to take part and we were told we didn't qualify under their rules despite having a full stand with 5,000 rail seats. We were told to take part we would have to convert the Steve Bull lower which we weren't willing to do so we weren't allowed to enter and we withdrew our application.Fairly sure that we opted not to take part in the trial.
