The Football Supporters' Federation (FSF) believes that football supporters should have the choice to watch football from a safe standing area, if they so wish, at matches in England and Wales.
We believe that the existing regulatory framework (The Green Guide) adequately defines what constitutes a safe standing area, which is unrelated to the standard of football on the pitch.
We support giving fans the choice to stand in safety or sit without having
their view blocked by people standing in seated areas, which often occurs at
present.
To this effect, an on-line petition has been set up to try and over-turn the ruling brought in, thanks to lobbyists on behalf of seating companies, rather than supporters themselves.
