New Everton Stadium

Many Conservatives still have the mindset that football fans are thugs. I doubt the Sports Minister even had a cursory look or had any intention of taking it seriously.

Well after the weekend who can blame them.

Whens the time frame that the Council agree on this lads?

I have forgotten what exactly they are or are not agreeing on now. All Stadiumed out me.

Video here on the rail seats in Germany.

I see a major flaw in their design. Whenever they are used in ‘seat’ mode, i’d crack the back of my head off the rail behind every time I sat down.

The Reds on the echo Facebook urging everyone not to vote Labour in the upcoming local elections, their 'staunch socialist' persona obviously takes a back seat to their bitterness over a possible new ground for EFC.

Fortunately not many of them actually live in Liverpool.

Hi. Having worked with Tracy Crouch, she is passionate about sport and ensuring supporters have a great experience. She is very level headed and thorough and loves football. She's an FA coach and runs girl's football if I remember and big Spurs fan (and NFL). If she has decided that they are not progressing with safe standing it will because she looked heavily into it and listened to sound advice. She definitely does not think football fans are thugs as she is very much a fan herself. Sadly recent images in UK football have really not helped and we all know football violence seems to be making a bit of a comeback.

sad sad bitters, i could never imagine our fans doing something like and we're supposedly the bitter ones? We're not even close. Just like how their muslamic views and opinions on racism have been influenced ... their political views are now all determined by their football club. An utter cult, i don't know any other club with such a mass of followers basing all their life values on a poxy football club. It's so so sad.

Can anyone explain how this sort of seating/standing would be safer than just having low capacity being allowed on bare terracing?

It’s safer because you can’t get crushed as there is a rail between you and the person behind you as well as the person behind you
IMHO bare terracing will never ever be allowed back into top flight English football ( nor would a lot of people want it ) no matter how low the capacity.
As has been stated , hooliganism and thuggery is slowly creeping back into certain sections of football , a lot of it as far as I can see organised by some far right looneys
