Fan fury as Premier League calls for more research on ‘safe standing’ demands
April 20 – The English Premier League has asked for more evidence to convince them to support the introduction of safe standing after the country’s sports minister refused West Bromwich Albion permission to trial the idea.
Safe standing is currently outlawed following the 1989 Hillsborough disaster but there has been a growing campaign to re-introduce partial seating areas including an online petition..
“This subject is complex and nuanced and clearly requires more research,” said a Premier League statement.
