Stewarding (Sit down!)

I'm 50/50 on this subject (and I don't stand other than to celebrate) but last night in LT6 those few that do stand were constantly harrassed by firstly stewards and then someone threatening to remove the "standing few" from the Ground.
I do realise the fundamental reasons for all seater stadiums and that the Club are under pressure from the Council - just not sure what the solution is - I'd just prefer not to be in a position where fans are being intimidated with threats of expulsion!

The ignorant ones who seem to think they have the right to stand and block the view of those who wish to sit, particularly those who have sit, should be removed from the ground IMO.
The law on safe standing areas is an ass at the moment and needs sorting, but in seated stands, you should sit.

The ones in LT6. Me being one.. are not in anyone's way. I agree if someone was in the way, I would sit.. If I ever was.

Grey one as if it's going to happen at all grounds
Away fans also stand..

Did LT1 get asked to sit.. genuine question as I am on holiday

As a long time supporter and someone with a disability who cannot keep bobbing up and down like a jack in a box. It would appear that as County have become more successful their seems to be a number of supporters who would prefer to stand. As the ground is being redeveloped I would suggest that those who wish to to stand are accommodated in a separate area. In the meantime I would request those who do stand to respect those who cannot and observe the current rules that EP is a fully seated stadium. This enables each of us to enjoy the game without our view being blocked by someone standing up in front of us. Thank you

Completely agree.. where I stand has no impact on anyone as I have a wall and no prrsons behind me or black a view.. if it did I would not stand. Thank you

There was two women from the council, taking pictures of everyone standing at the wigan game. So may be the club have had a warning and been told to make sure everyone is sitting.
