Stick it in the West Paddock.

You certainly don’t want them having to go up and down staircases, particularly in the rush to leave. So the options are severely limited as it can’t be up the other end and you’re not exactly encouraging their enjoyment of the game shoving them where they are likely to get rained upon. So, short of shifting people from the lower parts of the Ellerslie Road stand, there isn’t really a realistic alternative. Other than, of course, not to have one at all. Pretty sure that even where it is, the little darling’s ears will still be able to pick up some of the more colourful language.

Alan's read through the thread so far, and responds with the following:
"I think people have got the point, which is that safe standing at Loftus Road if the law was changed would be about atmosphere, not increasing capacity. Let’s hope the petition continues to grow…
Regards, Alan"

As for safe standing it wouldn't add seats as they are still seats but just means you done have grump John behind you telling you to sit down, be quiet and miserable.
