I think in the Times it said we weren’t expected to.
red number 9:
Only 6, currently unnamed, clubs across Premier League & Championship have applied.

--- Quote --- Railed seating has been installed in the lower Anfield Road Stand as part of the season-long trial at Anfield.
This follows the 1,800 seats already installed at the back of the Kop at the start of the campaign, which have received positive feedback from supporters.
The trial is separate from the Anfield Road expansion work and will be updating 6,000 seats in the lower tier for home and away fans into railed seating. Changes will be staggered at intervals in home matches or international breaks, with approximately 1,900 seats on the back 10 rows expected to be updated for the fixture with Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.

All for the rail seating but the back ten rows of the lower Anfield Road is an area of the ground you should want people to sit down - can't see anything if people stand up! Only slightly better if people are sitting down

Yeah I thought they'd start at the bottom by the pitch side and work up to avoid the issue of worsening the limited view under the second tier overhang. But then if you implemented it this way you would have people standing up persistently in front of people sitting so not sure what the answer is really.
Is 6,000 seats the entire lower tier of the ARE btw?
