If I am not mistaken, Cardiff away was the first time we have used it / had it allocated to us as away fans.
For those in the safe standing section, what was it like? Any different to everyone standing up anyway? More densely populated? Better with something to stop you falling over the seat in front when we scored? |  |

We had it at QPR too. It felt the same as standing in front of a seat. |  | | |

Weirdly it felt more spacious, where I was anyway, helps that it’s a new stadium, and nice to have something to lean on 
Experienced it at Old Trafford last month and it was fine there to be fair, but a bit tighter, and couldn’t sit down properly at HT. |  |

It did feel more spacious, the bar was a bit low I thought though, and when I did sit down at half time, I cracked the back of my head on it. Safe Standing maybe, safe sitting? My arse. |  |

Where there's a sprain there's a claim.
Tell them you demand our points back. |  |

I don’t remember it at QPR, it wasn’t in our section (upper tier to the left of the goal). | |

What was it like? Tiring lol. I enjoyed my sit down at half time. The set up there was very inconspicuous - just a low(ish) round bar retrofitted along the front edge of each step and with the original seats still in place. It didn’t get in the way when you moved about, so there was as much room as you have when seated. Some of the safe standing areas have whole new seat units with integrated barriers on the back. It was nothing like that and I imagine as cheap as chips to install. It was very low key/low tech, it makes me wonder what all the fuss is about. |  |

I think all of the safe standing areas in England are the same, just a bar fitted in front of existing seats. It’s not what it’s like in say Germany. | |

It's how I remember Dortmund when I saw England play there years ago. |  |

Should be relatively straightforward to convert stadia if that’s the case. Although presumably it’s legislation that’s the block rather than bolting a few bars down. | |

We weren’t in the actual standing area in Dortmund. The away section was in a normal seating area in the upper tier where they had also installed bars with the seats for safety reasons.
Plus, for international matches, the stadia are all-seater anyway, so they don’t have the double capacity in the standing area. Meaning even if we had been out into either the terrace or the rail seat standing area, it wouldn’t have felt much different. | | | |

The Birmingham one was quite painful when we scored as it was effectively just heavy scaffolding poles.
The England end at Wembley that has it is really good, spacious and well designed. |  | | |
