Good.

The brilliant thing about modern stadiums is most of them will have the flexibility to offer something for everyone. This who want to stand will now be able to do so without inconveniencing those who prefer to sit.

And your point is?

Its crazy its taken this long for safe standing in England when almost every away support stands and most home grounds have large numbers stood also.

Hibs looking at safe standing.

How does this new safe standing proposal differ to what's already in place at Tottenham or Wolves ect where they have rail seating, how is it physically different?
Is it just open terracing as opposed to rail seating?

It would be rail seating. I doubt you'd get safety sign off for open terracing.

I think some clubs pre-empted the league's decision for this but, as I understand it,they're not officially allowed to use them for standing until Jan 1st.
