We've had safe standing in Lower Tier 1 for a number of years.

Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

Mr. Fenty: Mr. Rumson, do you think that everything that comes out of the earth should be used to make liquor?

Ben Rumson: Whenever possible, yes.

This will purely give the stewards the power to force anyone not in those areas to sit down - for me a retrograde step for the majority who quite safely stand in many parts of the ground. Everyone already knows the areas where people sit/stand and respect that fact. I moved many years ago to an area where I can sit rather than stand but am quite happy that fans behind me stand.

The club is doing it to the fans as opposed to with the fans. This massively increases the risk of getting things wrong even when trying to do right.

I wouldn’t mind but the customer base - the fans - are ready, willing and able to engage. In the supporters co-op there is even a vehicle to do it. Why run the risk of pissing your customers/fans off by taking unilateral action with no consultation?
