watching it at the moment, this is why standing terraces
SHOULD NOT be allowed again.
Why not? with the better policing and a change in the dynamics of the footballing fan base we now have, a Hillsborough type event is very unlikely to occur. By unlikely, I mean near impossible. In the bundesliga they have standing terraces and don't appear to have any trouble (may be wrong). If you've ever been to a proper football ground like Chesterfield's and Swindon's they still have very small terraced stands and whenever I have stood in them there has never been a problem. I feel quite strongly that terraces should be brought back, not wholesale of course, but maybe a few blocks in one stand where fans who want to stand can. All you do is rip the old seats out but keep the same number of fans, so if a block hold 1,000 seated fans, 1,000 can stand there simple.
It would be very unlikely to see a group of thugs go up mob handed, ticketless and try and force there way into games now-a-days, its just not the culture.
