JUST a quick note about the "sit down or get out" policy at the Reebok.

This is typical of the short-sighted authorities. Just at a time when there is finally some atmosphere in the stadium, they want to kill it off for the minimal risk of problems caused by a few fans standing up.

I see there is no problem for the whole stadium standing to observe a minute's silence.

I should also add I noticed a cut-back on certain post-match bus services from the ground, which led to a crush of people standing uncomfortably on a bumpy, sweaty journey home after the West Ham game.

What's more dangerous than standing on a bus or train - and all this after a 30 per cent increase in fares this season!
