AHC: Keep standing areas in top flight British football

[Emperor of Halton]

With a POD either before or after the Hillsborough Disaster, keep standing areas at top flight British football grounds into the present day.

 

[The Knight]

Standing areas were removed as a result of the Hillsborough disaster. No disaster means standing areas will remain.

 

[Emperor of Halton]

Somebody's replied!

If standing was around today would it be like the old-fasioned terracing or more like the German-style "safe standing" whereby seats are locked up for domestic games?

Even if Hillsborough took place, what are the chances of another similar disaster occuring at a later date?

The Taylor Report was used by the clubs/FA for their own ends.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Report

The report stated that standing accommodation is not intrinsically unsafe, but the government decided that no standing accommodation was to be allowed at all.

Not sure why TBH. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_96 says...

Since the Taylor Report, England now boasted enough all-seater stadia of sufficient capacity to hold an expanded tournament.

Give Euro '96 to France instead ^^
