The way i see it is that safety issues around terracing are usually through human error, i.e. not controlling numbers, limiting entrance access resulting in people pouring into one section of a terracing and so on. Using the rail system allows for control of the crowds through ensuring controlled entrance and allowing for limited sections that have easy ingress and egress via stairwells which can be stewarded. As a result it minimises where things can go wrong.

The idea of safe standing is about control, having the rail seating ensures a limited number of people in each row, if you look at anywhere with rail seating there is plenty of room for two people for the equivalent of one seat, as there is no movement between rows there is no chance of crushing and then movement of people is controlled through the stairwells. The big thing that makes this safer for standing than the present seated area is that no one can fall forward as there is a big rail between each section.

It would be cheaper for clubs as less floodlighting would be required and no need for under soil heating. It would be better for fans as they wouldn't be sitting in sub zero temperatures at any point in the season. And there could be a chance of more tv money through increased interest internationally.

I'm all for this, though i would have thought that the way it could play out is each row of seats allows for two rows of standing and the way this could be done to help younger fans would be to make it revenue neutral. So a seated game would be e.g. £30 and a standing game would be £15 as two people can stand in the same spot as one seated. If it just means paying the same to stand as sit then don't bother with it, this can be done to help those that are on lower incomes as well as improve the atmosphere.

I think the bill is spot on, the only problem with it is legislative competence, it is mainly a reserved matter at the moment.

I would say that Trade Unions have their place in society for support of their members, unfortunately the trade union movement is complicit in the way the Labour party has operated since the 90's when Blair took over. I think they need to re-organise themselves and re-assert their priority towards their members and should not affiliate to any political parties, we live in a multi party system and the best way for them to represent their members is through negotiations with parties that they can find agreement with on a case by case basis.

The BBC is a public service broadcaster that receives it's funding from the taxpayer via a TV licence, therefore they should not prioritise according to market values but instead social value to it's viewers. The fact that they do not is one of the reasons we should all call on the BBC to be disbanded, broken up into smaller localised broadcasters whose priorities are the needs of their viewers, not commercial or politicial needs. Other reasons include the political bias and worse still the closing of ranks relating to sexual abuse by people within the BBC. Simple thing is they are not fit for purpose.

The two main DAB transmitters nearest you are the Angus transmitter between Dundee and Glamis and the Kirkton Mailer transmitter at Perth. Ye should get a reasonable signal in Dundee then, what kind of DAB antenna are you using, the ones which attach to the inside of windscreens sometimes aren't that great.

I would be especially delighted by that one

And that is for the Lord alone to judge, not any one of us.

I think it could be SNP- 37 Labour - 20 Libdem - 1 Tory - 1 Some of this depends on the expected LibDem collapse and UKIP taking Tory votes.

I received this information regarding TTIP and the SNP Government

At the point where all the relevant mechanisms which are need to be changed are in the control of a single legislature which is minded to focus on the idea of social justice.

Are you honestly trying to equate a ban with the removal of someones hands?

Yes that is the case http://www.voa.gov.uk/corporate/CouncilTax/increasesFollowingImprovements.html

I'd love to see them introduce a lifetime ban on driving if caught drink driving. I have no time for people who can't control themselves with alcohol.

It is a formal position, it is one because they have deemed it to be. In terms of the Scotland act the only positions named in the Scottish Parliament are the First Minister and the Presiding Officer, Outside of this Ministers and Junior Ministers are mentioned though not specifically named as well as deputies to the Presiding officer.

I have already said who i support in this contest, i did take the opportunity to read what they all had to say and frankly Keith Brown was the only one to actually say anything of actual substance. This made my decision even easier. 1. Keith Brown
