We are NOT talking about a return to the huge terraces of old, but requesting a feasibility study be carried out into NEW small Safe-Standing areas. Football supporters wishing to stand want the choice to stand safely during a game. Supporters throughout the UK have continued to stand throughout the 90s and into 2001, this issue will not go away until those that want to stand safely are able to do so. Supporters who do not want others standing in front of them want designated standing areas to be set aside to allow them uninterrupted viewing during a game 4.
Standing improves the atmosphere in a ground.
Safe-Standing could provide access for disenfranchised and young supporters who have become excluded through higher prices. People will and do stand during a game. Football clubs and safety authorities do allow standing during 'moments of extreme excitement'. Because these moments are the most dangerous times, to have a ban on standing at other times is illogical. To endanger people by allowing them to 'dangerously stand' in a seating area is irresponsible.
