That's exactly what they've done. If you look at the pictures closely, you can see the bottom area of the South Stand is shallower than the rest - that's the standing section. Above the back row of this there's a gap up to the seating section (which has a row of mostly wheelchairs at the front), so they've got a perfect view.Not everyone wants to stand. And, as noted, some areas will be too steep. So, it will have a limited availability.
I have not seen the map where safe standing will be implemented - but the club also has to be cognizant of the handicap seating across the south stand - won't want to have people standing in front of anyone in a wheelchair - unless that "level" is actually high enough for them to see over people standing in the row in front. I suspect that might be a possibility - because nobody wants to sit in the row directly behind a group that are standing...
