Bring in standing areas soon....then if people stand in seated areas move them to a standing area for the rest of the season.
If they don't observe this rule then throw them out....there is nothing worse than elderly fans being deprived of seeing the full match....standing in restricting seat rows can be very dangerous as you get older and losing your balance.

Unfortunately he won't go to prison though. Simply not enough room. Lifetime ban and a criminal record, yes. Could lose his job and home but hey ho, he made the decision to attack.
Unfortunately there are a lot of tools at football matches, not just at Argyle but all around the country. They drink a few pints of Stella and think they're Rocky Balboa. Name them, shame them and ban them.
I sit in the front of the Demport End as there are not enough wheelchair accessible places in the refurbished Grandstand. I also recall the 70ās and I am no prude, but I do not wish to hear some grown-up men attending some of the big matches which sell out constantly using foul language in the front of the Demport while sitting next to their 8- to 10-year-old sons or daughters, so I do not attend so many games now. Also, due to people rushing forward and standing up without any respect for wheelchair users. Thankfully, during the Rotherham game last year I was able to sit next to my friend in a wheelchair accessible space in the Grandstand which was so much better. However, not quite hearing some of the chanting at first from some people in the Demport and Lyndhurst during this game to the opposing fans it then got louder and louder from many quarters with the chanting being totally abhorrent. How, Argyle did not get sanctioned for this was very lucky. The chanting could have been akin to racism or any other kind of verbal abuse so I hope some lessons are learnt all round from all clubs and fans should similar occurrences occur in the future.
But they are all in a standing area and are aware of the potential to have someone taller in front of them when they book there. When booking a seat, in a seated area, you expect everyone to be seated no?
Itās called being a fan do you want us just to sit and clap when we scoreš¤Ŗif that day ever comes then that will be it for me

Let's hope it's soon then. Last thing football needs is throebacks to the 1970s.
Hang on a minute are you saying fans should stay seated when Argyle score?
I'm with Area 51, the day that's accepted it's the day I stay away as well.
It's football not a vicar's tea party!

I was walking out next to these guys with my 7-year-old son. At first I thought they were mates arguing about the penalty, but it got more heated.
The guy that was hit was clearly annoyed that the other guy had been blocking his view during the match. There swore at each other for a bit, then the guy who had been standing punched the other in the side/back of the head as he started to walk away. Aside from the arguing it was unprovoked. To his credit, the man who was hit, picked up his glasses and with a bit of encouragement left the scene. I hope he was OK.
The chap who hit him carried on shouting for a bit before also being persuaded to leave. He did apologise to those of us around him but it was a real shame to end a great day like that and a sucker punch like that could have had far worse implications.
