why not sit down?

**familyman** · 13-03-2016 08:11 PM

Why on earth does everyone stand the whole game and sit down at half time?I paid £25 for a seat and as everyone in my area stood(C) the whole match you all had too...
Stewards could at least encourage folks to sit!!!
This also happened on my last visit to this ground.

**LancashireHibby** · 13-03-2016 08:16 PM

I'd have rather stood up all game that being up and down every two minutes like we were in B6.

***sleeping giant*** · 13-03-2016 08:20 PM

I can't believe grown men would take their seat , look behind them and see kids sitting there but still try to stand up for the whole game.
I was lucky today but could see that exact scenario in the section next to me.

***sleeping giant*** · 13-03-2016 08:21 PM

By all means stand up when we are through on goal but sit back down after ffs.

**Pete** · 13-03-2016 08:23 PM

Every time I've been in the north people have stood. If people are standing in front of you what are you supposed to do?

***Jim44*** · 13-03-2016 08:30 PM

Bad stewarding. Simple as that.

**LordBamba** · 13-03-2016 08:31 PM

I much prefer standing when it's a big game. Makes it a better atmosphere imo

**Onceinawhile** · 13-03-2016 08:33 PM

Was absolutely fine where I was (i6) if you were sat in the North, it was to be expected.

I agree. I'm not fussed either way, but it's not up to fans to enforce.

A few around me were staring at people's backs for large portions of the game, sat in their seat- just don't have the legs to stand for the whole game. People will come on here and say it's trivial but it needs looked at.

***Brightside*** · 13-03-2016 08:39 PM

the whole of d section were stood up. great. enjoyed it.

**brianmc** · 13-03-2016 08:39 PM

Such is modern fitba. Blame the politicians who came up with the idea of all seater stadia.
Personally I like to stand. I also understand some people like to sit down.
Until the rules (and stadia designs) change this type of thread/comment will run and run...

*I don't even sit down if I'm watching Hibs on the tele. During the last Derby at tinkcastle for instance I spent the whole game pacing nervously up and down the living room "kicking every baw"

I'd quite happily stand but blocking people's view isn't fair.

Me too.. I was there and my kids could see so I wasn't stressed... And no swaying or anything surprised at the stewarding tbh...

Far better atmosphere when we stand. There should be designated standing/sitting areas

**TheFall** · 13-03-2016 09:03 PM

Was in the North and everybody was standing so I had to stand all game.
Nothing you can do about it and not something to upset me.

The only real losers in this situation are the old dudes who can't stand for long.
At least kids can stand on the seats

I was inb D. stood the whole game and everyone stood in front/back/sides much better. some wummin looked tired after 60mins so she sat. no complaint

**PiemanP** · 13-03-2016 09:26 PM

I severely dislike the shoulder tappers that tell me to sit down. It's a cup final ffs

**HibsNutter** · 13-03-2016 09:28 PM

People stand in the North every game we play at Hampden, why buy a ticket there if you're gonna moan and force people to sit down? Designated standing sections are needed, hate sitting down at games.

**PiemanP** · 13-03-2016 09:29 PM

How did you all cope 20 years ago?

**franks** · 13-03-2016 09:29 PM

Is this not an argument for safe standing areas at football? I know the police prefer seated crowds but should they really have a say?

Yup safe standing areas and proper family sections which are not behind the goal, I was in C4 and got into an argument as my 5 and 10 year old had to watch the big screens half the time. I was embarrassed at letting rip at the guys in front....

Problem was there were no family areas....next time I will avoid the north stand

**Michael** · 13-03-2016 09:46 PM

Either safe standing needs introduced or sitting down needs to be enforced. Yet another thing Scottish football can't get right!

The stadiums weren't all seated 20 years ago?

So annoying. I had an old boy continue to stand up for at least 2 minutes after every attack had dissipated and everybody else had sat down. Means I had to peer around him as I knew if I stood up the kids behind me couldn't see.

**hibby6270** · 13-03-2016 10:10 PM

Aye. I had some ersehole in North D1 probably seat L8 or L9 who announced at the start of the game - "It's a ******ing cup final for ******'s sake, everybody stay standing"

Eventually most saw the light an sat down. The guy moved at half time and no doubt found somewhere he could "******ing stand" as he so eloquently put it. Probably in North D2 who did stand all through the game.

He wasn't missed.
