Supply and demand.

If I had my way, they should have stood on an open and uncovered kop to watch any derby match.

Just replace the broken ones with some spares from the bottom tier behind the goal

They'll be needed for the summer gig at the Racecourse in the summer.
That's why those shiny new red seats were installed last year. Yeah those that never get used for the football !

lol.........if someone walked past your house and lobbed a brick through your window you'd say "don't worry pal, I'll just use a different one".

Few years back we had the same issue. Most of it then was due to pressure pulling the seat anchor bolts from the concrete.

Could be the case this time? Any pics knocking about?

This!
These are the exact reasons why safe standing needs to be introduced. Its all fair and well saying that they're in a seated area and should remain seated but lets be realistic, 24years of all seater stadiums shows that you will still have a large contingent standing. Its not going to go away so about time the legislation was updated where we can cater for standers and fans who want to sit.

The last 12 months I have noticed more and more standing at premier grounds. The authorities seem to accept it these days, but in my mind it won't be long before there is an incident of death or injury. Hope this isn't the case but it just feels it's getting out of hand.

Our government are always a bit slow on the uptake but the tide seems to be turning. We know safe standing has been in Germany for years but now Celtic have got safe standing and it sounds like Shrewsbury may get the go-ahead. That could be the turning point. I think it's more of a case of 'when' rather than 'if' for safe standing to be introduced.

Needs the go ahead as soon as possible. Not just for the people who wish to stand, but for the countless others who are forced to when others do. My elderly Dad was taken to Old Trafford by my brother in law a couple of times, Stretford End. Had to stop going because everyone stood and as he couldn't join them he couldn't see a thing.
Let's hope common sense prevails.
