Perhaps I didn't make myself clear... If you mean where would I put EP, I would leave it precisely where it is! I would never suggest moving it. I was referring to the edge-of town location of Shrews' ground. Which is where it is for reasons which doubtless seem good to them, and that's their business. I was simply saying that safe standing should be a part of any redevelopment of EP. But I still want to know WHY at least two EFL teams can have the facility in their ground, AND be using it?? Obviously, keeping any such areas empty would be an utterly pointless waste of money! As for where in EP to put safe standing, you'd need to be very careful not to impinge on the view of seated fans. For that reason, unless the whole of a stand (or one tier of a stand) is to be used for standing, you tend to find the facility either in the corners, or towards the ends (corners) of otherwise conventionally-seated stands.
