As you were an away supporter, I wouldn't want them in away stands. I totally agree that it wouldn't work if not stewarded properly. It seems to me, if you are an away supporter, you are not considered to be part of the normal health and safety requirements.That's just it. It won't be stewarded properly over here. We never do anything properly here. Also I was in a seated area when I got injured in Germany. The stewards did nothing at all. There were some German fans without a ticket in our area. The Arsenal fans around me helped me and asked the stewards for medical assistance. The stewards just walked away. Safe standing areas will be areas for the yobs and will take away seats from those of us who are too old or too young to stand with them. It's a backward step. it looks to provide cheaper tickets to a few.
If we all had away seating as you do at the Emirates and at Brighton, with safety a priority. Away support should be ticketed and only if you are in a travel club. Cash turnstiles on the day always draws the idiots. Travelling ticketless 'idiots' should not be allowed near the ground.
I have travelled the country and seen the best and worst and the rip-off merchants. Some attitudes are brilliant, some are just draconian and break all civil liberties and everything in between!
I do agree that because it's becoming very difficult to become a hooligan in the premiership and championship but the lower leagues are ideal for the idiot to thrive!
