FL Clubs To Be Canvassed On Safe Standing

Last updated : 28 December 2013 By Covsupport News Service

The Football League have said in a statement that they are to canvas members regarding safe standing.

A number of clubs, Coventry City included, have said that they would be in favour of safe standing areas in their stadiums, similar to those in use abroad and the Football League have sent a consultation document to all seventy two clubs.

The documents asks clubs the following four questions

Should the Football League approach the minister for sport to request that the 'all-seater' stadia requirement for Championship clubs be reviewed with a view to the re-introduction of standing accommodation?

 Should the Football League approach the Sports Grounds Safety Authority to request that rail seating products be licensed in Football League grounds?

 Should clubs be permitted to accommodate supporters in rail seating in the Championship?

 Should clubs be permitted to revert from seating to standing accommodation in League One and League Two following relegation from the Championship?
