Sunderland Ban Fans

[DaveF]

For persistant standing

38 fans ejected and some have their ST's suspended, with the club citing their legal obligations as the reason.

Interesting and controversial move, given the hundreds \ thousands who stand at the likes of Anfield and other Stadiums.

Thankfully Hibs take a common sense approach when it comes to standing.

Anyone gonna start a " sit down and be counted" thread?

[Sir David Gray]

That article doesn't say whether or not these people were ejected as a result of other supporters sitting behind them complaining to stewards because they couldn't see. If that was the reason then I could understand why that kind of action would be taken as it would be quite ignorant of someone to stand up in front of someone who was sitting down and therefore blocking their view.

If that wasn't the case and they were simply thrown out because they were standing and for no other reason then I find that quite sad.
