GuyGermanLatic Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Notice that there is a very empty space where the Lookers Paddock is/used to be? Remember when the Paddock was non-seated? Well I think you've guessed by now. Could we use that space of the Paddock for fans willing to stand for the match? There are no food venues so why not either get a mobile stand in there or let fans walk from to the Chaddy/RRE via the gates on the pitch. The turnstiles, well where the doors used to be, convert them slightly? Money can always be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonBlueLad Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Won't happen. Not allowed as we've been all seater for 14 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 They’d never get a safety license for people to stand on their. Not without doing a lot of work on it and I can hardly see it being worth it if they are eventually going to knock it down to build on it.

Bare in mind we're having it for a while since the credit crunch. Just thought it might bring in some coppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellys_discopants Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Theyd never get permission unfortunately pal. No facilities and health and safety would take one look and instantly say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 It's against Football league rules as well isn't it - hence why no one has ever built standing on former terracing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Just thought it might bring in some coppers. The coppers are already there and fans would have to share the toilets with them in their control box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 It could be a solution for the thousands of fans we turn away at the gates most Saturdays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyGermanLatic Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 It could be a solution for the thousands of fans we turn away at the gates most Saturdays We need the seats/spaces for the fans also when we have the big games. It's perfectly safe. The disabled area of the Lookers is still used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyGermanLatic Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 'The big games'? You mean the potential home leg of a play off semi final. Yes. Why don't we get a big attendance? (sarcastic) Yeah, you'd create a helluva racket in a paddock with no roof. Small things make a big difference. Also the Paddock never had a roof anyway.

There are a few steps which make a good standing area. We did it in '92! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
