All seater stadiums are crap, but at the end of the day it's still your team out on the pitch  |
Yep, you're right, Dave, but I reckon we should cross the bridge when we come to it. I can't even begin to imagine Accrington Stanley in the championship at the moment (although ten years ago, I was saying the same about us in the FL!).
If we do have to have an all-seater stadium, it's my understanding that there's some leeway towards the stewards turning a blind eye to standing fans. My son-in-law, who's a Hull season ticket holder tells me that they stand all the way through the match and the stewards don't hassle them.
