I agree but the trouble was that at first everyone just laughed at them but they started threatening the ones nearest the stairs with being thrown out, even made a few attempts to try to grab a few guys, in the end everyone probably just thought, fuck it, i'm not getting thrown out and sat down, as I said in my last post they threw a guy out who would not sit down and was arguing with them..
Twats..
Hoppy, do you mean the Will Mellor lookalike in the front row, middle, to the right of the steps? If so I think he was thrown out because of a combination of factors - he was pissed out of his mind, threw up at least three times in the first half, shit himself, then wouldn't sit down at the start of the second half (probably due to the shite in his undercrackers).
With regards to the standing, I was told by a steward when I came in that it wouldn't be allowed, then again when I was sat in my seat. Had a chat with the steward about it, who told me that it's just the first five rows of the upper that must be seated due to health and safety. A walkway separates these rows of the upper from the ones further back. The steward said the seats were for home fans originally (I think Martin O'Neill moved the away end from behind the goal a few years ago), so they never had a problem with standing. Now it's the away end everyone stands, which they won't allow in case there's a 'rush' and someone falls over the railing. He said if you wanted to stand you can swap with someone further back.
