    With rumours coming out of the board that most of them are still opposed to the idea, and Lawwell coming out and saying that he is open to exploring the idea, what do you think?

    I think that Safe Standing would be a great way to boost atmosphere in Celtic Park. I think we NEED terraces.

    I hope that it wasnt just drivel coming out of Lawwell and the board actually plan on doing something, not just something he thinks would be "neat".

    Lawwell has got our hopes up about things that never came true more than once in the past. I hope the board is behind him on this one.

    Yes. It's what the majority of fans want. And looking at the current German model. It seems to work for them.

    I much prefer standing at the football, but as I understand it this won't actually increase the capacity of the stadium? That's a shame, as just even getting another 5k through the door on Champions League nights would be pretty good.

    Its got nothing to do with us really, its banned in the top League of Scotland and top 3 Leagues or something off England by the SFA and FA as I think they were pressured by the government after Hillsorough.

    So even if we built a safe standing area we'd be unable to use it, except for home friendlies maybe.

    Agree. I think Scotland as a whole would benefit from standing area's in most premier league stadiums. It might take a few clubs to come on board and force the issue. Is that how it happened in Germany?:50:

    Apparently this has now been lifted by the SFA.

    Unfortunately we wouldn't be allowed to utilise it in the CL....UEFA do not allow safe standing

    The new safe standing terraces have seats that you can push down for European nights.

    There will be Safe Standing within Celtic Park within 3 seasons.

    I reckon it will be in place prior to the 2015/2016 season as long as things run smoothly.

    I usually try to get my seat over around area 413, close to the Green Brigade. Everyone stands in that section the entire 90 minutes there so I know I am not inconveniencing anyone who likes to sit down.

    I mean I enjoy to have a sing song and singing while sitting just isn't very ....... I don't know what the word is for it. Enthused? Enthralling?
