Nobody has answered my question earlier in the thread!

Redraine, I will try and find out from our Head of Safety and get the answer you need... Will be a few days tho' as in Devon at mo!!.
Rightly or wrongly whatever the reason they are the rules at the moment so we'll have to abide by them or face the risk of getting kicked-out...The other risk is that if clubs continue to allow supporters to stand then they can be fined which in Stanley's case for example could have a huge impact on the playin squad if players were to be sold as a consequence, or in worst case scenario's have matches played behind closed doors again with financial repercussions. Clubs have Safety crirteria which has to be met before matches can be played and have to be seen to adhere to the rules.
I'm not saying whether this is right or wrong but trying to give my understanding of it and give an alternative slant on the subject.
It's similar to most Referees dilema, if a last defender brings down a player in the 1st minute of a match is it right or wrong to send the defender off?? MOST refs would prefer to keep 11 v's 11 but the rules are they have to go..
