Forums:

I want to get a quick show of hands from other season ticket holders are you a stander or a sitter? I myself like to stand as that is what I have done since I was a child at UP.

I have been to all the matches execpt the Watford one. The fixture list and international schedule has been kind to me as I have only missed 1 home game during my 3 week surf trip to Bali. I will be flying back the 20th so I'll be back for the next game 100%. Where do you want to meet?

Nothing beats standing but when I have my 9 year old son with me he has trouble seeing if the people in front are six foot something and has to stand on the seats. He might then block someone else's view.

I'm in row 5 in the east stand so I sit. At Upton Park I was row 4 so again I sat. If everyone around me stood, I'd stand. No skin off my nose what I do really. Definitely stand for the obvious bubbles, goals, chances and controversials.

Whether I want to sit or stand. Rules state it's sitting only so get over it. Note, it's the stander's at the OS that are the cause of the friction and are responsible for the club not being able to increase the capacity to 66k. As usual, the minority spoil it for the majority.

I agree its the rules and I am more than happy to follow them if it means the stadiums capacity is increased ect... I would like an area in the ground where all of us that stand can be together and then there are no issues. It just does not sit right with me sitting the whole game and I have had a season ticket since I was 6 and standing as a kid always made the ground seem bigger and always gave me goosebumps.

No idea. I've not been contacted by the club asking if I was happy where I was so I can only imagine people have written in and requested moves. Unless of course I find out next Saturday I've been moved

Weve got more things to worry about than standing at the moment.time to get behind the team and manager and become united as supporters. Well thats my opinion anyway.

We are lucky as we don't have to put up with people standing in front of us and I'm relieved, as I would lose it if a numpty stood in front of my son ruining his view of the game. We go to watch the game and I wish others would just accept it and move on.
