Some are very slow to see that seats will be closed if persistent standing continues and this is the acceptable solution.
Hard to match up those who want to keep their "seat" but don't want to be in the safe standing part. Very little if any alternative seating available for them.
The only talk that seats might be "closed" has come from the people that want to get it done -ie the club. This isn't a survey. This is the club telling people that a big section of the FE is going to allocated to special needs standing and if you don't like it you should move or feck off. As a priority for us it's way down the list.
Funny looking at the ME end and watching the vast majority using the special needs area and actually sitting down. Those poles were definitely worth paying for!
Anyway, it's going to happen. Just stop pretending it's consultation because it's not when they've already made their decision.
