Haven't tried the Corner Pin since it reopened. Might give it a go.
Come and say hi,
Nutter-Naylor
and I are meeting in the Shelf bar, would be good to see you again x
I don't know if there is a charge, but when I walked past on Saturday, there weren't many people around.
Come and say hi,
Ok - I'll pop to the Shelf then
Safe standing approved starting in January.
This is a trial which will be monitored by Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA), so its very possible that they may alter actual numbers permitted at any stage,
I believe there are 6,000 such seats at the foot of the 17,000-capacity South Stand and a further 1,500 or so for visiting fans in the away section. So that is the maximum.
All the talk is that if the trial is deemed a success by SGSA further seats may be changed to being 'safe standing' for next season ... or not
Sign of the times OTT H&S requirements.Your wish has been granted........................
Not sure how that is OTT compared to the normal arrangements?
Standing has been banned for over 25 years, not like they are going to go
"Just stand where you fucking want"
Bearing in mind there is already a lot of people standing already at matches. There is a big difference to stand where you want and having to allow Away supporters to stand, code of conduct (whatever that means), training of stewards and CCTV sounds OTT to me. I was brought up with standing on the Shelf.
Not sure this topic belongs in a football forum anymore.
No offence to anyone but if you want your stadium to generate revenue 365 days a year (not my words) then anyone who is not a dyed in the wool football fan will just be looking at you with a blank stare.
Honestly, not sure which side I'm on because I want the success that financial stability brings but I don't have the historical chops to counter argue.
Look at Everton on Sunday. Raised the fucking roof and what a game to be at.
Look at Everton and where they are.

So long as there is standing I don't really mind.
Most of that is I guess for insurance purposes in the event of something going tits up.
The hypocrisy is that standing never really went away, and I'd argue that it was potentially more dangerous standing where fixed seats were without barriers, genuinely lost count how many times I've gone over the seat in front of me after we've scored (ahhhh the good old days!), just amazed at 500 others haven't ended up on top of me.
What there is OTT?
Don't have standing where there are disabled people behind who want to watch the match isn't OTT H&S it's just common sense and taking the fact they too have paid for a ticket and would like to watch the match into consideration.
Having 1 standing space per person standing is a simple way to prevent overcrowding.
Having a seat you can sit on at half time isn't something to complain about.
Barriers between rows makes a surge\crush impossible.
All of these things just seem like common sense really.
I think it all makes sense. Nothing OTT about it. The ‘old days’ of cramming 60,000 people in a space designed for 30,000 ain’t ever coming back and rightly so
Only just seen this.... 4 years late!
How DARE you, *I've played Wembley (Arena), the M.E.N, Birmingham NEC, Top of the Pops, Melbourne; Australia and various others... But I ain't playing no West Ham / Olympic Stadium gig!
Now take it back THIS INSTANT!
*Facts and stats are based on information that is about 20 years old... But you get my drift!
It’s very complex , because they’ve made it so. You have THFC , TH properties & TH offshore developers ( based in the Bahamas)
Th properties monitor risks & uncertainties including the success of the first team, they are the decision makers , who are running at a £3m loss & has a value of £0 . They make no profit but had a expenditure of £43,000 last year
TH Overseas Properties seem to the company who applied for building rights for the stadium etc on land owed by ENIC , hence why we are tenants & not owners of our own ground . Remember ENIC bought land from THFC on the cheap
ENIC have invested 180m into the build of the stadium , some of that was raised by charity events & have only invested £70m in 21 years into the team & left THFC with one of the biggest debts in football & themselves are not guarantors of this debt.
At the end of the day ENIC decide what we get out of it despite using our name as they own the land it’s all built on.
Sorry for the weird link
