jmthmsn Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 As I've said before, if members vote for it, this could be the 2nd 'Trust in Killie' target after we reach the first milestone of getting a Supporter Director on the Board. The Trust have already spoken to the rail seating company who installed it in the east end of Glasgow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKtid Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Certainly a good target to work towards. Should improve atmosphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst others may see this as a waste of money, I'd say it would increase the atmosphere tenfold. If we did it along the back of the stands like that it would be ideal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz of the 20/20 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Agreed, that would be quality, or even back few rows of bottom section to have atmosphere closer to the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be better being 1 section in my opinion as it would bunch all the fans into a block rather than spreading them out across a full row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might block folks views to either side though. Celtic get away with it as it's on a curve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdevoy Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Sadly I am reaching the point in life where a wee sit down is very attractive but I remember standing at games and, if you are able, I would say, as with most things in this life, it is much more fun standing. I'd support the trust getting this in somewhere, it is no as if we are tight for space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic get away with it as it's on a curve. Would need to be at far left or right of east. Bottom right would be a shout as that section is already out of use and is close to the away end. Our crowds are so low that i don't think it would be a massive problem for folk to move a bit to the left to get a full view of the pitch? Majority in FB already have to move to avoid the pillars Edited October 17, 2017 by PrestersKtid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieBantam Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Would it be feasible to turn the whole Moffat stand into a "standing" stand? Always liked the looks of the "yellow wall" and the likes behind the goals. would be a lot better having McDonald/opposition keeper being met buy a rowdy bunch rather than 20ft adverts. OF can get tae f**k with getting 2 stands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superkillie2003 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 If everyone was in the Moffat would that not mean there would be no one in every other stand 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKillie Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) instead of back rows why not the front? leave 2 rows empty behind the last row of standing and people can see over you. IMO our biggest issue is how embarrassingly empty the front section of the East Stand is. Luckily, the cameras don't ever see it when we happen to be on TV. Anyways, i am all for this, it's looks brill. Edited October 17, 2017 by BlueKillie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine it would be easier getting the safe standing in place than someone on the board. Celtic have set the precedent so there are no legal issues to go through, should be quite simple to implement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philo Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Isn't the concept of safe standing that the height between the rows is sufficient that you can choose to stand or sit and your view not be impeded by those in the row in front ... unless we get a corner, like it is now with 'normal seating'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well aye. You can see that difference in row "depth" in the original picture of the safe standing section. To my eye, looks two steps per row of spectators and the whole seat is visible, whereas in traditional all seater stadium only the seat backs could be seen from pitchside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not speaking from knowledge but seem to recall it as one of the selling points for reintroducing (safe) standing areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks different to an all seater stand of same size though - are less seats in same area - on first glance anyway! Would seem to back your point up - probably why is so expensive to introduce as "modern" 4 box stadiums werent built to that spec in the 1990s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetfitter Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 As the legendary Ulysses 31 memorably posted many years ago on the original forum in response to a debate on the declining atmosphere and how to change it: Alchohol + standing = atmosphere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
