This is needing addressed. There is small kids and older people who simply cannot stand and see for 90 minutes. Dundee on Wednesday was a disgrace. Folk blocking aisles in their hundreds instead of sitting where they are supposed to. Hampden yesterday and even in the hospitality folk are standing. It’s a joke.

One of the reasons I’m giving my season ticket up. I’m Main Stand rear where no one really stands however the 2 boys in front off my just stand. The older guys behind me then can’t see (& also wouldn’t be able to for 90 minutes) so they tell them to sit down. An argument then ensues at every game. Eventually the boys do tend to sit down however they moan for the rest of the game about everyone & how hard done by they are. It just makes being there a bit miserable.
It’s not fair on the people mentioned mate and it needs addressed. It’s spoiling it for the more vulnerable groups.
Pissing in the wind with this argument.
For Hampden and away games anyway.

Why . Nobody stood when Hampden was renovated in 1999
Started buying tickets for the South Stand at Hampden as my wee one couldn’t see from behind the goal but it’s getting just as bad up there now.
Ended up arguing with some of the selfish bastards at the LCF earlier this season .

You can't see the pitch from most places of Hampden anyway
Imagine if there was simple solution, a safe standing area maybe?

Staircases at away games are the worst, trying to get the weeyin down to the toilet is a nightmare and ppl just refuse to move, accident waiting to happen imo
Everyone stands in broomloan front,maybe have to move soon due to not being fit to stand for 90 minutes
No UB back then. Young team prefer to stand.
Only need a few and everyone else is then standing to be able to see.
Purely from a selfish point of view I much prefer it.
People should ve able to choose. Shoukd be standing and seating areas. There is a unofficial one in the BF at Ibrox. In a couple of years there will be a official one in CF you would assume.
Much harder at away games where i doubt clubs want to pay money to install safe standing for away fans.

So it's the selfish weans again ... ps the drum and the loud speaker is just annoying . Guy standing with his back to the game . Never even watched the game

The easy solution is designated standing areas or stands and then those who need and want to sit know to avoid those areas. It’s not really workable for AWAY matches but it could and should be the case for home matches. There’s fans who want to stand but are being forced to sit because of the current all seated stadia.
If only there were enough spaces for everyone who wanted to join.
As it is, there were hundreds rejected.
The buy a drum patter does you no favours BTW.

Away games nothing you can do. For Hampden with the new ticketing website next season we will be able to view the stadium map and pick a seat so no reason they can't label areas of south upper as seating sections.
Remember that retort next time you want to belittle "the selfish weans"

It’s been the norm in BF for years, away games it’s always the case as is sitting anywhere, my pet hate is the odd clown that doesn’t seem happy just standing the seem to gave to also stand on the seat with no thought for those behind them.

Fact is a wee group of 400 think they're the only ones who matter and that our games would be silent without them

Sadly we have supporters who don’t consider others, they want to stand and to hell with those who don’t

It's why safe standing should be introduced, if we have dedicated seating and standing areas then nobody can moan about being asked to sit down if they are in the sitting part of the ground.

Not only kids and older people. Standing in front of the disabled section at Dundee as well. We are talking 5 rows of people here with no consideration for those who cannot stand.
What a load of absolute shite!!!! Some of the people in this place would want everyone sat on their hands in silence. The majority of people want to stand at games, home and away. Some of the mines thrown at the UB is honestly tragic. Can’t wait for the meltdowns in the CF next season from the “SIT DOON” brigade.

Obviously vulnerable people, old people and kids didn't exist back in the day when all the people who now whinge on about standing used to stand in crowds of 100,000 and it was great fun.
It's football, people stand to watch the match and have done for centuries.

Which they absolutely would be.
Our games are silent without them.
You have no idea what that group of 400 think, neither do I for that matter,but let's not even try presenting your judgment as a 'fact'.
So far we've had you dismiss them as selfish weans, moan about the drum, bleat about the loudspeaker and complain that a guy didn't watch the game.
When you're aiming accusations of "thinking they're the only ones who matter" at other fans, you might want to be a wee bit more aware of your own postings here.

Get stewards on it. Get their seat numbers and demand action. I’m sick of the selfish ignorant people who are in a designated seating area and will not sit down.
I’ve had to stop going to away games because of it.
And the next person to call me whatever can go and take a flyin fcuk to themselves.

Tbf, without specifics, I think the club highlighted previously that North and South are largely seated - leaving West as standing.
Unofficial or otherwise, if you’re picking seats, majority in the South and certainly all upper South sit. North, further away from West, it seems seated.

Both my parents are in their late 70s
Both in the GF have been for 38 years
OF games and Euro nights at Ibrox are a real struggle for them now
Such a shame

My Dad got a ticket for the game yesterday but couldn’t go as he knew we would be standing. He didn’t moan or b*tch about it, just realised that’s what happens and went to the pub to watch it. To be fair, he has done his fair share of bouncing about Hampden, Ibrox and everywhere else to be too hypocritical when it comes to the young team doing the same as him at that age. I do think a compromise could be reached with some areas of Hampden, but for away games forget it, no chance that will ever happen.

Folk standing in the aisles should be told by stewards to move. Its hard enough to get up and down them without groups of folk congregating
Stewards have no authority at football grounds.

Thats a bit of an exaggeration mate,the north and south stands are fine,I will give you the front few rows of the east and west stands but outwith that you can see the game fine.
We managed to cope in the old stadium with 100,000 in it and you could be a fair distance from the pitch.
