Personally I feel like football Stadiums need terraces again, not the full ground being standing however maybe just the one stand like what they do in Germany, what is everyone else's opinion on this? it would increase stadium Capacities and potentially make football attendances ever so slightly better, it seems to be a craze in Germany. Let's face it most stadiums lack Atmosphere these days and this could potentially bring a bit back to football.

I don't see any problem with it. Not sure about the cost but if it's going to allow more people to watch the games then that must be a good thing. I also agree that standing areas do increase the atmosphere. Maybe another poster will confirm this but I think that these standing areas can also be easily converted back to seated?

Absolutely sir, couldn't agree more. I'll never forget my first game in the Enclosure, bouncing about like an eejit singing and chanting stuff like, Andy Andy, gees a wave etc etc!
The atmosphere was always electric and friendly!

i do not see any reason for a part of the stadium cannot be made for standing but it would have to be done at end of season t accomadate everyone who would maybe need to move seats

Hope the retro shirt protest against Sports Direct & Ashley goes well tonight.
It will be a good show of strength and show how much money they are NOT getting from loyal Bears.
Onwards and upwards.

Sadly it won't do one bit of good as the board well know. King should just pay Ashley what is owed to him and the idea of using it as a bargaining tool is unbelievable when you consider SDs profits continue to rise and Fat Mike can make five million in a matter of days.

The longer King doesn't pay the debt the longer Ashley will stick to his deal and it's time more fans asked just why he won't give Ashley his cash.

07 Aug 2015 15:31:36
Correct me if I'm wrong(I probably am) but for king to actually be able to pay off the 5million owed to Ashley he has to put said cash into rangers, which would be taxed, this means he'd have to put in roughly £10,000,0000.00? just to pay off Ashley.

07 Aug 2015 15:58:59
Possibly because he doesn't have the cash to give

07 Aug 2015 17:33:20
the negoiations that are taking place will produce results king has one or two things regardind ashley sports direct and the period ashleys men were running the club and there will also be a spin of from the police investigation

07 Aug 2015 17:51:01
Don't even think Ashley will know there's going to be a protest

07 Aug 2015 22:14:15
Naz you don't half talk pish the most idiotic thing DK could do would
be to pay the PALTRY £5 MILL to Ashley
Make him wait and let him realise how much money he is losing when trifling with Scotland's biggest club
While the mob in the East have to shut a Stand we have full house on a Friday night WATP

Paper talk saying Stubbs has set a 1million asking price, I believe he is worth it and we should stick in a 1million offer surely me must then have to accept

07 Aug 2015 09:26:05
If your talking about cummings as well as Allan for a million then fair doesbut for just Allan are u mad?

07 Aug 2015 10:02:25
What are you talking about. 1 million for a player we get for nothing in January!! WOW

07 Aug 2015 10:36:08
U won't have to worry about putting in 1 million pound offers because u don't have the money to do that! Come out of dream land pal! Uve had 3 bids and not one has been over 300 grand! But your going to bid 1 million! Lol

07 Aug 2015 10:58:47
If he plays a blinder and attracts offers from south of the border from bigger clubs than Wigan and a higher wage he may go for that option he has the potential to be worth 4mill in a 3 or 4 years with European experience so a mill up front for the player we we want is worth it and remember we paid half that for Vuckic and co for half a season with no sell on value to try and win promotion

{Ed039's Note - The Toon 5 were not signed for footballing reasons)

It seems some fans haven't learned the lessons of the past.

07 Aug 2015 11:05:27
Stubb's comment shows we're wasting our and Hibs' time. With less than a year on his contract and wanting to join Rangers you can't compare Allan's valuation to McLeod's.

It's playing silly and I sincerely doubt Rangers has that sort of money in the transfer kitty anyway. I see us waiting til January and signing him on a free for next season and sad as it may be, let's see what Holt, Walsh and Thompson have to offer in the no. 10 position. Lots of talent there.

agbroxi - we don't have £1mil, we didn';t have 275k??

wake up man!

your falling into same bracket as those who are saying we will walk/canter/stroll this league - we haven't even played a league game yet!
there are others talking about Europe next year ffs!

Can we not just enjoy (hopefully) the way things are going (football wise) for the moment & let the rest take care of itself.
onward & upward - sensibly!

if the manager wanted to pay a million for a player he would be allowed to

07 Aug 2015 16:32:26
Aye u have lost it mate yer making no sense whatsoever!

07 Aug 2015 22:23:44
dh88, unfortunately we cannot buy players for £250k, since we are not dealing with managers who are ex players and get a cut of the fee.

Stubbs describes Rangers as being mischives in our bids for SA, and he called MW personelly after the 2nd new bid to tell him he was worth £1 million, Rangers are conducting their business correctly, how can you be criticised for trying to get a player for the cheapest possible, it is Alan Stubbs & Hibernian that are being mischives releasing any interest from any club to the press I understand they what the best possible price as well for SA
