I saw that steward in Y21 he was up and down so much I thought he was trying to start a Mexican Wave. I still maintain and I do it myself. I stand to sing when there is a break in play e.g Injury or waiting for the ball for a corner or free kick and of course when we score or get close, then I sit d...

The annoying this about a reduction in their allocation is that it'll decrease the revenue that RFC take from the game as I can't see the South East corner being split into say 1,500 Reds and 500 Royals. Good point, but should we play them in the cup then they should only receive an allocation of 2...

Surely it's got to the stage where the FA should step in. If it is unsafe for supporters to stand in an all seated stadium then the referee should not allow the game to proceed until the crowd are sat down. It is a joke that the authorities concede that Man Utd fans stand up because that's what Man ...

I have to say I think Reading will nick it. The whole club is buzzing with our current league form and the boys put in a great performance at Brum. I really do believe we will upset the odds once again and victory at Old Trafford will be one of our many outstanding achievements of this season. I wa...

The safety gate certainly isn't a legal requirement otherwise every club in the land would have one. The club have in the past though had conversations with the authorities about the safety gate helping crowd segregation and has allowed certain matches to be Police free. These days you can't just ke...

Dare I say. I think some of our supporters need to grow up a bit. You are right their is very little trouble with Premiership clubs, but some of our supporters still have Coca Cola mentality. Stoke, Cardiff, Wolves, Palace, Bristol City have all got young lads that like to give it the big one. Arsen...

It's probably bullshit because the Chairman has got quite a big ego but.........

........apparently he didn't want the stadium named after him, it was decided for him.

But look at the number of police other clubs have at their grounds. RFC prides itself with having very few police at home matches, which saves us a fortune each season. In fact the Man City home match earlier this season was completely police free and I expect Wigan was as well, amongst others. Beca...

I would think the success of these buses would be taken into consideration when the council consider the stadium expansion application, so it would be good to see the buses full. I know the club are keen for more pubs and social clubs to follow the Rose & Thistle and Prince of Wales in running b...

If majority rules.

Do a poll (I am pretty sure it's been done before) Standing Vs Sitting. As I recall the majority prefer to sit.

End of discussion. :wink:

If the majority are voting for the South East corner to be the area set aside for Standing, why should me and my two sons have to relocate to another part of the ground? We quite like it where we are thanks!

So this type of safe standing wont increase the capacity then, as they could only sell the space corresponding to the seats. So it would never allow the swaying of a standing crowd during times of excitement? Just increase the chance of having a restricted view with all that extra scaffolding. What'...

But surely, as with everything to do with crowd control, procedures have to be folllowed. I am sure the stewards controling that area don't have the authority to say......'well it's not too busy, there are only a few Reading Fans waiting and the Wigan fans seem like a nice bunch, we might as well op...

There has been talk of re-turfing the middle from goal to goal. Not sure if anyone can confirm whether any thing has gone on at all this week?
