Closed Allow safe standing areas in football in grounds.

Closed on

Since Hillsborough, all the top teams have scrapped standing areas due to the lack of safety, however their is an alternative: safe standing. Safe standing uses rails to make sure the area cannot get to crowded, whilst still retaining the great atmosphere stadia like Old Trafford or Anfield deserve

This system is already being used in Germany, where the atmosphere is far greater than here in the UK and no safety risks have been shown.
