I see the negetive spin has already been placed on our new safe standing announcement already, with the daily ranger quoting a hillsbourgh victims mother that the announcement was insensitive as the inquest was only a week old. The tradegy happened 27years ago and although I have sympathy with the victims, the family's have to move on and put it to.
{Ed007's Note - With all due respect I fail to see how the two things are even connected.}

Spot on Ed. The tragedy, as we are now seeing, was a total procedural failure by the match Commander and leading officers in controlling and eventually realising what was happening. Nothing to do with standing or seating arrangements. Not sure if I like the idea of standing areas but I appreciate some people do and the concept has been tested successfully elsewhere. The club are responding to requests from their supporters/ paying public.

A think it's a good idea if fans want it at the Rangers/ Celtic match a few weeks ago the full Rangers end stood for the full match and it seemed it was the same in the Celtic end! happy belated birthday ed.

Wow! That's a pretty grubby bit of crap journalism right there. Would like to think it at least involved the effort of a board meeting with a graph showing potential effects on Celtic's branding but in all probability it was a hurried "bad stuff about Celtic" Google search from a taxi.

I doubt if any of the 96 families even knew about our announcement . and as all football fans from that era know the standing wasn't tbe problem it was the access to the terraces and those horrible pens.

It's gutter journalism at its very worst. It wasn't safe standing sections that caused people to die, it was dangerous levels of overcrowding. And what's the club supposed to do, not renew season tickets because of the Hillsbrough ruling?
