What a pointless exercise! Yes, I too used to prefer the atmosphere on the terraces at the county ground. If fact I’d go so far as to say it was more the reason I became a fan than the actual football... But make no mistake, safe standing is not terracing.
If anyone thinks that simply by ‘standing up’ it will recreate that, they’re wrong. In reality, it wasn’t the fact that we were standing that created that atmosphere, it was because we were crammed in shoulder to shoulder, when we scored there was a swell and the noise was deafening.
Standing up in neat rows where your seat used to be wont make a the slightest bit of difference to either the atmosphere or the capacity. Completely pointless.
You might have a point there, perhaps there’s an element of splendour in the grass going on?
