Question on the safe standing section mate, was everyone standing?

I was considering them tickets but saw a comment saying everyone in them last year was sitting.

If we get back to the GF I might consider going in there.

Yeah everyone around me was stood up for the whole of the game. If you can handle that long on your feet, I'd defo recommend it.

I had a moan about my tix earlier in the week, but to be fair it all worked out really well. North Stand towards the East stand. Good view (usually sit behind the sticks), mainly Wigan fans in the section, few gaps but pretty civilised tbh

Were in North N2405 between the 30m and 40m lines. A good mixture of fans with no trouble whatsoever. I don't like watching a game from behind the posts so these seats were ideal, I'd rather pay a bit more and have less bother.

We’ve done safe standing a couple of times now. It was great on Saturday but we were right at the back. We did it for the WC final and we were at the front and that wasn’t great because people behind were sat down and then you felt like you had to and to say it was cramped was an understatement.

I'd have hated to have had to sit down. Luckily enough for us, we got in earlier than we normally would and naturally stood up, anyone who came after kind of just followed our lead.

Personally, I thought it made it a better atmosphere + the organisation of the seats/rows made it a better experience than traditional, free for all standing areas.
