Because I really can't see them replacing seats like-for-like with cheaper standing tickets.
Standing tickets a bit cheaper but you get more people in the same area so make more money than if it was seats.
Hamburg as an example have 4300 in the standing section when seated, 8500 when standing. 500 away fans seated, 1000 standing.

You have 30 rows in the lower tier, and 24, 425 people.

32 blocks I make that approximately 750 per block.

Eight blocks, from 5 through 12, that's six thousand seats.

33 a ticket for Cat B, thats 19800 quid from the NB Lower.

Make it sixteen thousand standing places. Charge everyone sixteen pounds, they make just over 250,000 a game.

Arsenal make fifty thousand extra a game, and you pay 16 quid to stand on the North Bank.

Cat A its 48 a ticket, call it say 30 for a standing ticket, when we play the scum they make what 480,000 from standing, as opposed to 384,000 for 8,000 seating.

You'd pay about 550 quid for a Season Ticket.

The Germans do seem to have the seat/standing dilemma sussed out. I remember the old olympic stadium in Munich having standing terracing with fold down seats so that you had the option. Although, I don't recall it being any cheaper then the seat prices at Highbury. However, I would not support a move back to the old style terrace. We may be the ignored majority but at least we are humanely ignored.

Tottenham will win the league and their fans will by a round ,the end of the world will come,pigs will fly before terracing is allowed back in the premiership!

Would love it if this happens. I'd be willing to pay the same lower tier price to sit than stand. I pay money to watch and support my team, not to have a crap massive comfy seat.

The king of spin was saying what people wanted to hear to keep people passive.

Standing is banned, he knows he can explore it but until the law changes that's all he can do.

Funny that, as I can stand at Underhill watching Arsenal reserves.

Ivan Gazidis has revealed that he is in favour of Arsenal exploring further the possibility of incorporating a safe standing area at the Emirates.

Maybe around the beer and food concessions in the concourses,and around the CASH registers in the club shops!!! Wait a minute,perhaps the Pound/Dollar signs are appearing because he has released that he can cram more of the plebs into the same square footage,therefore,more dosh!!!

Ivan Gazidis has revealed that he is in favour of Arsenal exploring further the possibility of incorporating a safe standing area at the Emirates.....in fact he in favour of talking about anything remotely popular amongst the fans that diverts attention away from a disastrous end of season and meek display so far in the transfer market!

Sitting at football is shit, standing is the way it should be, in the seats you get shit loads of pussys who never utter a word except for enquiring with their friend if them or they will get thr refreshments from the bar 10 mins before halftime

Terracing at the E*******
