I'm not agreeing with Lingo, but I think he/she makes a few good points.
Children should never be in physical danger.
However over the years my infrequent visits have brought home to me the different ambiance at games now. I am a fan of rowdy noise and accept that politically incorrect language and chants should be allowed.
I think the use of the old Filbert street pens for the rowdy noisy fans was a good idea and the families and boring oldies in the family stand.
I moved from sitting behind the goal in the north stand as a young season ticket holder to living in the pens as an arrogant ado and young adult. Then using the seated areas when I started to take my youngest. Now I'm sure he'd prefer to have a rowdy area to go being 15.
I think football grounds have become too sanitised. having said that Ilove the view that is available from anywhere in Walkers, I'd simply have kept (if it had been allowed) standing areas for both sets of fans.
