Theres a petition here set up by a lad who is fighting for allowing standing back in football games...
...So I said I'd pass the link on for any who wish to sign the petition.
So the link is here -- http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/footballstand/
and you decide if you'd like to vote...
Football stadia have improved dramatically in the near 20 years since the tragic Hillsbourough disaster.
I am in no way being insensitive and felt the grief with the rest of the nation.
However, I have a petition live with the Prime Minister to bring back limited, well controlled terracing at football grounds:
My Reasons:
1. Technology can ensure no overcrowding
2. Will bring back fans priced out of the game when all-seater stadia were bought in.
3. Will increase atmosphere at what I can only describe as sterile at some grounds.
4. People will be able to socialise in group of friends.
The Taylor report concluded that "there was nothing intrinsically unsafe with terracing"
Mrs Thatcher disagreed with this and insisted all on seater stadia.
If you, like me, feel it is time to introduce some areas for standing at football grounds, my petition link to 10, Downing street is below:

Thanks, regardless of your stance.
