Welsh Assembly Passes Motion to Trial Safe Standing at Football Matches

Posted: Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:13

With reportedly 19 out of 20 Premier League clubs supporting exploration of safe standing at matches, the Welsh Assembly has unveiled research indicating that 96% of fans in the UK support the introduction of rail seats and safe standing areas. While Liberal Democrat sports spokesperson John Leech MP is a campaigner for the initiative, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Sajid Javid has stated that it's not a priority for the government and they have no appetite for changing the current rules.
