Svlad Cjelli Why other clubs get away with allowing their supporters to stand if they choose to do so? - Do they? Examples, please?
I've been to Wigan 4 times and stood on every occasion. On one of them we had pretty poor support of a few hundred I think, and I was one of 3 people stood on the back row. We were at the end of a row next to a steward stood in the gangway. He did not ask us to sit down at any point. There was no critical mass, and no threat of a public order breakdown (
) so I can only conclude that he allowed us to stand.On the other occasions there were more standing but still only 4 or 5 rows deep. Again, I would say that this is well within the criteria for sending stewards in to enforce the rules.
hence, i simply don't buy the argument that all clubs enforce the law equally. Some are more prepared to turn a blind eye than others.
