Which countries in Europe (in addition to Germany, obviously) allow standing areas in their top-flight stadia? I know of at least one in France (Le Mans), and I think there's one in Holland, but they don't appear to be widespread. Is it like Fulham in the Prem, where they're given time to change to seats, or do fans just not mind all-seaters as much because they can still stand?

This is a good site for looking at different countries, though it's a few years out of date (eg it still lists terraces at Leyton Orient).

Obviously in the lower leagues there will be more standing areas (as with England)
as well as in small countries like Wales and Luxembourg.

Large countries with widespread standing in the top flight include Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia and Romania.

France, Belgium and Holland are largely all-seater but I think there are one or two terraces around (eg. Lille, Anderlecht, Heerenveen). I don't know of any terraces in Italy, Spain, Norway, Poland, Czech Rep and Hungary.

I suppose if there are sections where it is known and accepted that people will stand (typically behind the goals), then with UEFA regs the way they are perhaps you can see why not everyone sees the need for German style safe standing sections.

Well even in countries with all-seaters standing is allowed in seats, officially or unoficially. Only in Britain is this not the case.

in europe they dont care about the rules they just stand :lol:
