The fight for safe standing areas at the English Premiership
The Football Supporters' Federation calling for the return of standing areas in the 2 top divisions of English football and will be presenting a petition to the Government and football authorities. In the 1990s, after the Hillsborough disaster, The Taylor Report recommended that all football stadiums convert to seated models.Standing is still permitted at many sporting events including rugby, speedway, horse racing and music concerts taking place at football stadiums. Across Europe, football fans are permitted to stand in designated areas, and this has encouraged the FSF's desire to see standing return to English football stadiums.

They have led to more women and more children attending the games and no matter how safe standing can be made, seating is always safer." He also said "We will not be encouraging the Government to change the law." The Football Supporters' Federation suggest that safe standing areas in premier and championship football stadiums should be a matter of choice for the clubs in question and they shouldn't be forced in to it. likewise with the feasibility and cost, it isn't a decision for the government to make.
