Fact is it would never return to the free for all, that was the 70s and 80s that saw cops allowing far too many people into an enclosure, health and safety legislation has been updated numerous times. I think there is a bit of the 'notice me' about her writing to clubs rather than a genuine concern or grasping of the present situation.

oman43 45 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just look at other sports. Noticeably Rugby League. The majority of grounds have large areas which are standing, and not what you would call "safe standing" either. A lot of supporters don't even have a barrier to lean on, and look at how many incidents have happened there, absolutely none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of supporters don't even have a barrier to lean on, and look at how many incidents have happened there, absolutely none. On a slight tangent, safe standing areas would actually make it safer in areas where people habitually stand already. Awful what happened at hillsboro and Heysel. Fact is it would never return to the free for all, that was the 70s and 80s that saw cops allowing far too many people into an enclosure, health and safety legislation has been updated numerous times. I think there is a bit of the 'notice me' about her writing to clubs rather than a genuine concern or grasping of the present situation.According to some on the Liverpool forums, there's simply no reasoning with her despite Liverpool supporters being no different from other fans in their views on this issue.
