Probably aint gonna happen,but,would you welcome some form of terracing being introduced back into stadiums??? As a token Tim on this forum i obviously would love to get back to the halcyon days of the "Jungle" ,but i also enjoyed standing packed like a sardine in the West enclosure.Also who could forget the steep bank of terracing at Tannadice,the Gorgie road end at Tynecastle or indeed Hampden when full.

No I remember the Ibrox disaster and going back to steep banks and people stacked like sardines is a definate no no for me. Hooligans are also easier to pick out in an all seated stadium. For safety and security. No!

I would love it to happen. Last Scotland game, against Croatia, we were in the West Stand i think, first time in years I've been in there and we stood the whole game. It just seemed so much better.

 

There has been talk of bringing it back, but limiting the numbers to the same that would be in a seating area the same size.

There was no better atmosphere than the Rangers end at Hampden when it had terracing. It's a shame that the youngers ones will not be able to experience it.

 

I'm a bit like Gisabeer. I'm knackered when I have to stand and these days I enjoy my home comforts. It's a pain having to stand at Parkhead. My mate, who has a problem with his leg, doesn't go there because he knows he will have to stand.

I was never a fan of either Tynecastle (uncovered, wasn't it?) or Tannadice. I much preferred the Beach End at Pittodrie.

Would love to have a standing section at Ibrox.

 

Unfortunately the Taylor Report and current SPL rules means that's impossible for the moment at least.

 

Although I have not read it is the Taylor report not flawed? The issue at Hillsborough (that sparked the Taylor report) was not stadning but serious overcrowding due to the police not enforcing order properly and just throwing the gates open to everyone casuing the crush was it not?
