I support this

Thirteen English league clubs support reintroducing standing at football grounds, according to a fans' group.
On Tuesday, the Football Supporters' Federation is hoping to win the backing of MPs for its plans for a small-scale trial at Premier League clubs.
It believes the pilot scheme would show standing - outlawed after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 - is now a safe way to watch football.
The Premier League have released a statement opposing the idea.

I do as well. Pretty sure Villa were the first English club to suggest bringing back safe terraces. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconbow.gif)

I've read a good bit about this the past couple days and I support it.

I like the idea, I just worry about the timing of it, considering all of the press this year about Hillsborough.

I don't know much about the subject, but are fans not allowed to stand in their seats at games? Or is this just trying to bring back standing only sections?
