Standing stands back to PL

Recommended Posts

There's a survey doing the rounds asking Chelsea supporters for their views. It takes a couple of minutes but might make some difference, who knows?

On another note, one barrier that is cropping up on the horizon is the Hillsborough Family Support Group and in particular a woman called Margaret Aspinall who is urging the Premier League clubs not to listen to the majority of supporters who seem to support safe standing.

Liverpool and anything connected to Hillsborough won't support it but with 40+ teams in the top 2 divisions supporting it, i think there is cause for optimism

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.

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.

On a slight tangent, safe standing areas would actually make it safer in areas where people habitually stand already.

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.
