I'm delighted to see that STAR have taken the initiative and made a complaint about the treatment of their fans at the weekend. I for one am sick to death of being made to feel/treated like a criminal simply for supporting my team and I'm aware of countless others who feel the same. Of course footba...

No, not my opinion...

The Heysel stadium 'seemed' to be safe until it wasn't. Hillsborough 'seemed' to be safe Bradford and Ibrox 'seemed' to be safe They weren't safe though, Heysel was a crumbling wreck of a stadium and Hillsborough simply not fit for purpose. Nobody even checked to see if the ground had a valid safet...

shadesrwrf Andy, please accept my apologies. I've made a bit of a tit of myself. Not for the first time.

Shadesrwrf, thanks for that and apology accepted.

Andy M, it's people like you who have made our great country what it is. Our police force once commanded respect. Now because of the do-gooders quoting "human rights" we have little chav kids telling the police to fcuk off on a daily basis. People like me? With respect, you know nothing a...

The S60 order allows police at major demonstrations and football matches to "stop and search in anticipation of violence" and nothing else. The police however employ this as a tactic to control, subdue and gain personal information about protesters, despite not really having the power to d...

Would this be the same Scudamore who, in minutes on the FLA website, stated that he saw no problem with supporters, in small areas, standing in front of seats? Could it be that publically he is just toeing the party line? This survey echoes the results of others seen on many websites comparable to H...

I'd recommend getting tickets in advance for the terrace area. Of course the Wycombe fans will already be doing so and the event is being widely advertised and we expect a sell out.

Pie Eater, why not get a ticket in the seated areas and show your support from there?

The campaign is, after all, about choice.

Looking forward to meeting some Reading fans on the 9th.

Some VERY good news. Wycombe Wanderers FC has agreed to host a Fans United Safe Standing Day at its home match on Sunday 9 September 2007 kick-off 1.30pm. This game is live on Sky. WE NEED HUNDREDS OF FANS FROM OTHER CLUBS DESCENDING ON WYCOMBE THAT DAY DRESSED IN CLUB COLOURS! Let us know about you...

Indeed, but the club would no doubt answer that the cost of servicing these few customers is unacceptably high - both in the stewarding costs, and in the risk cost of possible sanctions/legal actions. They'd also probably say that they'd be confident that they could replace these customers with oth...

Agreed, but whilst standing is illegal no clubs, Chairmen, police chiefs or ground safety officers will break ranks, for obvious reasons. Many have privately expressed support, because everyone seems to realise that the current conflict between crowds and ground authorities cannot go on. Standing i...

The petition is indeed about being allowed to stand; this article covers the many other issues that are brought to our attention that you could argue lead back to the standing issue, hence my opening remark. I know you had trouble with Chelsea a few weeks ago, but I've since heard of fans being bann...

At the rate your club are banning fans, I thought you may like a read of our latest efforts... While http://www.standupsitdown.co.uk continue in their efforts to try and achieve a common sense solution to the issue of standing in our football grounds it would seem from the feedback that reaches us t...

I'm not sure if this applies to those supporters subjected to a two match ban or anybody but you are entitled to write to the club and ask them for any electronic images the club have of you and the club is duty bound to supply them; they may make a charge for this. Under the Data Protection Act the...

Star, indeed and yet again I say that it never ceases to amaze me that potentially the most powerful group of consumers in the country are also the most apathetic. Just think what could be collectively achieved if fans were prepared to do just a little more than bitch and moan on websites such as th...

http://www.fsf.org.uk/news/news0010-policesteward.html As a campaigning organisation representing the views of football supporters throughout England & Wales, we are constantly dealing with complaints, enquiries and comments surrounding a wide range of fans' issues. We listen to what other footb...

They're trying their best but clearly there are leasons that need to be learned before there is a serious incident. It would be a good touch for STAR to get involved here and check with the club what is planned. I got a phone call from a fellow board member and a personal account from Handbags but ...

:shock: :shock: I find this debate pointless... do you see terraces in the new plans for the Mad Stad? It ain't gonna happen... I too enjoyed the old days of terraces at Elm Park... and, somewhat, the standing at Upton Park the other Sunday.... Unfortunately choice is not an option these modern day...

[quote="West Stand Man"][quote="Top Flight"] ACTUALLY I DON'T THINK I WOULD BE IN FAVOUR. I HATED STANDING FOR 2 HOURS Nobody is asking you to stand. BUT THEY WOULDN'T BE CHEAPER, BECAUSE THE NEW SO CALLED SAFER STANDING STILL OCCUPIES A SIMILAR SPACE PER FAN TO SEATING. SO YOU'D...
