This Is Anfield • Safe Standing

Safe Standing

The past few months have seen several Premier League clubs show their support for the idea of safe standing being implemented at their stadium – the latest team reportedly exploring such an option is Manchester United.

Earlier this year, The Football Supporters Federation held a ‘Safe Standing Roadshow’ in Liverpool, see here.

The idea is an emotive subject, but one that requires discussion among Liverpool supporters more than any other.
