Just wondering if there was/is any chance at all at ever bringing back the terraces to the English game.

There is nothing better than watching the old tapes of the English league and cups with the standing crowds and the terraces. Nothing compares.

I know it's a touchy subject for many in England, but it can be applied safely and en masse, like they do in Germany then there is no reason why it couldn't work in England.

Cheers and God Bless

Hey, Ljubuski. It gets talked about, especially whenever a new stadium is being planned. The safe standing areas found in Europe are thought to be a good idea by fans, but the clubs just don't want to go there. They cite safety reasons, but as ftm implied, it's probably more the simple fact that they can charge more for a seat.

Thanks guys, shame to hear that. But having a better atmosphere means more interest from tv which means higher ratings. It might work both ways.

Anyways you never know, I'm still hoping.
