BringBackStanding

Hello users of we are thistle. You may remember me on here telling you about my campaign ( http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=151038524916484 ) For those who joined the group you will be up to date on the latest updates etc however I thought it would be interesting to create a thread to draw attention to our petition which was formed last night and has soared to nearly 700 signatures as I post this thread.. You can sign it here and I would urge all football fans who want the CHOICE to stand or sit to sign it then pass it on to their mates. Together united we can change the 'sit down, shut up' mantra. And it's unity we need from all fans SFL and SPL. Forward to terracing! Back to terracing! http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/bringbackstanding/

The group nears 900 members and we are conducting an MSP email campaign.

We need to get as many people on the group as possible to show there is demand as Neil Doncaster stated. “Generally these things are driven by supporter demand and it’s possible there could be sufficient demand to justify looking at it, although there are no plans to do so at the moment. But we shouldn’t be rejecting ou...t of hand anything that could improve Scottish football. It’s very easy to take emotional standpoints on something like this but if there’s enough desire it’s something we should consider looking at objectively.” Getting a large amount of fans on this group supporting our cause will be an effective demonstration that there is indeed "supporter demand" and that there is "enough desire" for the powers at be at the SPL to seriously consider the reintroduction of standing at SPL matches.

Your legally allowed to stand in all SFL grounds however for the SPL your ground must have 6,000 all seater.

In light of Neil Doncasters recent comments regarding the possibilty of the reintroduction of standing in the SPL a Facebook group was set up to show support for it and also to act as a hub for any news on the issue. We are inviting all Scottish football fans who believe in the principle that you should be allowed to stand in Scotlands top league. If you agree that SPL fans should have the choice if they wish to stand at a football match then please join our group. The SPL has been emailed with several questions of the issue and we have emailed all SPL clubs and some SFL clubs (PTFC included) to clarify there position on the subject. http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=151038524916484&v=wall&ref=ts Thank you. Any questions please ask via this thread/facebook/email.
