Safe standing

With news that United are to install 1500 as a trial, what are everyones thoughts? Good idea or toi late, people's habits have changed.

Will the cost of a rail seat season ticket in the J Stand become cheaper than it was as a fully seated season ticket?

Match tickets in the old days were always cheaper on the terraces than in the stands.

You're right
. When my girlfriend started to come, not only did I have to buy two tickets, but for seats too.

To be fair, the atmosphere is terrible.

Under Ole its getting better.

The atmosphere at the last game vs City was brilliant. Stood for most of the game ... and with that ending by SMcT... The scenes.

That’s interesting, I didn’t know they did that at Dortmund.

---------------------------------------------

For domestic games Dortmund at full capacity have an attendance of around 80,000 but as all seater for UEFA competitions SIP is around 67,000.

No reason why it should be.
It's costing United money to remove the seats and install the rail seating. It's also a matter of choice.
Also you need slightly more policing and stewardimg to prevent over crowding.
It's really just a matter of personal preference.

This should've been campaigned for years ago but better late than never because it'll be brilliant once it's properly up and running and implemented.

It's a shame that it's in J-Stand though, it should've been in SERS but I can't complain too much.

1,500 is hopefully just the beginning and it'll eventually expand and take place in other parts of the ground. We have to have it in the Stretford End.

Wanted to move seats to the Stretford but we had to give up our current seats and apply again, which seemed strange to me?

Five years since I’ve been, but we couldn’t get away with that in our seats (lower Stretty). Stewards would be threatening to drag us out every two minutes.

Are you under 25?

They're expanding the section for next season to 2,000 but for some games there'll be less tickets via the normal ballot because it's going to be a part season ticket area from next season for 16-25s and that's 1,000 tickets.

Those season tickets are cheaper as well.

Where were your seats?
