I definitely used to stand on the old Cumberland Oval Hill. But I had little choice being about 3 feet tall.

its all a waste of time anyway they will smile and nod and say "we'll look into that"
then they will pick the option they were going to pick all along: the cheapest one

But the eels fans will cop the blame from wsw fans. :crazy::crazy::crazy:

Trying to pretend Eels fans might like to stand at the footy? What gibberish.
When you ask Eels fans what they want improved at our stadium, it tends to be more leg room (from seats), better lines of sight (from seats), and less time queing for food and drinks (less standing).
Standing is a thing of the past - even in EPL soccer. It's what you do at Granville Park when you watch the two blues play a Shute Shield match. It's what you do if you go along to the local park to watch your kids play cricket or footy. It's not what you do when watching top grade NRL in a modern stadium.
Perhaps it's time for Suity to end his trolling and take his soccer dreams elsewhere - it seems to bother him greatly that Eels fans don't share his passion for bending over backwards to acommodate the highly respectable group of well behaved fans that is the RBB?
Thanks Jake, but if what he believes in is clearly pie in the sky stuff, but he keeps banging on about it, then I reckon Suity is/was trolling? ;-)I think most people agree with you regarding this issue but you don't have to be a bitch about it, Bartman!! Suity clearly believes in something, it's not trolling.
Fair call. I think we're all in agreement here that standing just doesnt wash for rugby league fans of any team, and shouldn't be a part of a new multi-code stadium build. (All of us except for one person, who comes across as a bigger Wanderers fan than an Eels fan these days....)I'm a massive WSW fan but even bigger eels fan but totally disagree about standing. It won't suit new stadium and would look ugly. Just my opinion.
The elephant in the room here is whether WSW have earned the right to be heard at the highest level. Have they earned the right for a significant bespoke variation to the off the shelf drop in 35k stadium design ?
WSW should hardly be surprised that their requests might on deaf ears. Like it or not they are the Nick Kyrgios of the A-League. Tremendous talent, enormous potential, admirable results for newbies, but ....
Unfortunately like Nick, many from the WSW cannot fathom why all the wowsers keep making up a fuss about nothing.
Both very sensible comments, and further explanation about why the quest for "safe standing" in the new stadium build is simply unrealistic, and nothing for fans of any club or code to get too bothered about.One thing about the standing areas particularly that image that Suity posted is that its probabaly no place for families ie; women and kids so its effectively a area for testosterone filled passionate fans which seems to be the trend for soccer fans.
I've never been in a standing area so just making an observation. If thats the case it may not be the atmosphere that the Eels fans and footy club are used to.
The club has tried to increase its female membership over the years and this may be a step backwards but I guess the Wanderers families will have to deal with it as well.
public pools are just germ ridden cesspits anyway ..... fckn westie merkins have a river, what more do they need?
