They installed some at the back of the cricket field stand before the end of last season.

I personally having nothing against safestanding as long as seating is in place infront of the standing areas.Also there must be serious stewards in place who operate a zero tolerance to anyone standing in the seating area.

I believe there are no current plans to install any more.

Doesn't everyone stand in the CFS ?

I appreciate that some may want to sit but are unable to due to the standing supporters.

If you want to sit, the Cricket field stand isn't the stand to go in. If you sit instead of standing, you won't see anything. So to sit in the stand isn't advisable. Crouching maybe okay. Hope this clears things up.

No idea why they didn’t just make the whole stand safe standing in one go.

It makes no sense whatsoever to have any seating in that stand. Maybe a small amount for away fans at the front who prefer sitting.

They have to provide seats for away fans and, if there is any safe standing for home fans then they need to provide that for them too. So we've got it just about right in the away end I think but I don't understand why we haven't changed more in the home section given everyone stands anyway.

Yep, instead the club have persisted with unsafe seating in what is essentially an all standing stand.

It absolutely blows my mind that when considering ideas that could improve atmosphere that wasn’t well above the drum!

I'd love to stand but I don't like sitting behind goal. I wish they'd put some safe standing in JHU
