unlike standing which isn't!!
Quote from: \"silent_majority\" post=143276 unlike standing which isn't!!I do not condone the actions of any stewards last night, however,playing devils advocate here,it is a football league ground regulation as quoted below not to stand.10 Nobody may stand in any seating area whilst play is in progress. Persistent standing in seated areas whilst play is in progress is strictly forbidden and may result in ejection from the Ground.Also it is on Norwich`s OS (as no doubt it`ll be on every league clubs OS somwhere).http://www.canaries.co.uk/page/GroundRegulations/0,,10355,00.html

That is an incredibly revealing point SM. Thank you! I hadn't appreciated that one is allowed to stand \"at times of high excitement\". If you could provide me with the paragraph/clause/regulation I can quote it, verbatim, to every jumped up little Hitler I come across. Splendid!!CheersBobG
I bet! Thank you. Top man.BobG
SM, has this docment replaced the FLA guidelines which included allowance for standing at \"times of high excitement\"?I used to carry that document around with me just in case! It was nice and subjective so I could always say that I was finding the game very exciting.I can never quite understand how they make a ruling that standing is unsafe but acceptable before the game, during half time, after the match and during exciting passages of play when the potential for movement, some of it vigorous is greatly escalated. Surely this wold be much less safe that simply standing in one spot during general play?!
I hope you get somewhere with it and aren't fobbed off. Good luck with it. When people don't bring up bad incidents in football, things won't change!
