"I was never convinced, regarding the smaller clubs in particular, that the removal of all standing was necessary and I was pleased when this was relaxed following representations by MPs, fans and clubs. While safety must always be the ultimate criterion, there is no reason to ignore technological improvements made since Taylor reported, which might allow for Safe-Standing."

RA:OL - Now while I fully understand that at the best of times campaigning for the re-introduction of safe standing areas can be contentious. However it is my strong belief that with the introduction of technology and proper safety regulations, there is no reason why these areas should not be introduced into stadia around England. It has worked successfully in Germany and creates a true footballing environment for supporters and players alike. True, total football is on the verge of being ruined by fatcats who have a vested interest in our beautiful game. Due to inflated prices, real supporters are being priced out of football, terracing would reduce prices and bring back fans who wouldn't of otherwise been able to afford a seat. All we are asking for is the RIGHT to stand at football matches. Not all fans want safe standing but why deny those who do want it?
