I'm with you mate, albeit it without the scary experience.
The good thing, is that if there is any "safe standing" brought back in, it'll be a tiny area, and it'll be very much your choice to go into it.
So the people who want to can, and those of us who would hate to be in packed standing, don't have to.
(as said before i'm happy to stand in league 2 fare as it's so open and spacious)
On another note, in 20 years watching football, I've only seen people fall down rows in seats twice.
Once was at Luton, which if any of you have ever been in the home end, would note how bloody dangerous it is. Two tiers of step per seat, as they clearly just wopped seating in over existing terraces years ago. And extremely narrow leg room. The mix of the two means if anyone over does their celebration they can knock you like skittles.
Other time, a couple of boozed up morons at Old Trafford, again overdoing their celebrations and falling onto a couple of young women. Then spending the rest of the game saying stuff like "that's what happens" and if you "don't like it, go to ballet"
