a.) I read what you wrote, you said that nobody is calling for a return of the days of sloped terracing, which implied that they are calling for flat level standing areas.
You obviously didn't read what I wrote. This is what I wrote: "It might be dangerous if you have
huge steep terraces like we used to have. Not many people are calling for the return of those days."
That doesn't imply I want flat level standing areas, it implies that I want small standing areas with shallow slopes.
b.) What sort of an analogy is that?
The sort that I thought you would understand. But obviously I was wrong.
The point I was making is that if you're standing up and you get pushed from behind on a shallow standing area, you're less likely to fall over because you can just step forwards. And if you do fall over, you don't fall far.
On the other hand if you're pushed when you're standing in a seated area you're more likely to fall because you can't step forwards to stop the fall, you're more likely to trip over the seat in front. And with seated areas being so steep these days the fall is likely to be more dangerous.
You don't offer any proof that standing is safer than seating using that analogy.
I wasn't offering proof, I was asking which you thought was safer. Which of the two examples above do you think is safer?
It's not like these measures are introduced purely to annoy people.
I don't know, Thatcher hated football and I'm sure she'd have banned it if she could. She must be very happy that so many people have been annoyed by this.
c.) I'm implying that's it's easier for safety staff to marshal people who are already separated and keep them in an organised form than it is to marshal a mass crowd. What's that got to do with anything? Well it's one of the factors that will determine how efficently and speedily you can evacuate an area...
Why should there be more people in a standing area than a seated area?
The point I'm making is you can't prove that for shit - it's your opinion not fact, it's all very well you saying you can evacuate it quicker than a seating area but you can't prove it
Let me try and explain it again just to see if I can make you understand.
In an emergency evacuation, in a standing area, all you have to do is step forward a little (probably no more than ten yards) and you're on the pitch. You might have to duck below a barrier and step over small wall to get there, but it's something that can happen very quickly.
In a seating area you either have to clamber over seats, or queue and wait your turn to get to the steps.
If you really can't see that the first option is quicker I wonder what planet you're on.
