I agree..

Hopefully big clubs like Manchester United showing an interest in safe standing will potentially make the authorities listen.

I can understand Hillsborough victims families being sceptical about the idea, but it's completely different to what it was like.

I'd love to get to a game at Dortmund with their all safe standing end behind the goal. I believe these safe stand areas can be turned into seats for European games.

Clubs can also charge more for seating, the big clubs wouldn't want to lose out on money would they?

The problem is that they are not skeptical, they are completely against it and not even open to debate.

Ironically, the fight for justice could be undermined by their opposition to safe standing as the accused can use standing as the excuse for their crimes.

Most clubs support it privately, including Manchester United. There is support from the clubs and overwhelming support from the fans. The Premier League money men are against it.

Nothavint has hit the nail on the head.

A lot of the families up here oppose it and want even give it the time of day which is understandable will never come in on merseyside.

A lot of Liverpool support it the opinion is divided.

every away game I've been to in the last few years we stand anyway .. most teams that come to the bridge , the away support stand ..

Safe standing caters for everyone. Those who want to sit can sit without their view being obscured and those who want to stand will have a designated section of the ground to stand safely.

It should also bring ticket prices down as well.

Liverpool would not be forced to install standing rails, it would be an option for all clubs. We could have a situation where every club in the league except Liverpool has safe standing. Liverpool's away support always stand so it wouldn't affect HFSG.

It's ironic really as half the Kop stands during home games and they all stand at their aways. Standing in seating areas can be a danger in itself.

A good quote from elsewhere....'If I'd lost a relative on the Herald of Free Enterprise I wouldn't expect to be consulted on nautical safety, I'd leave it to the experts.'

Safe standing will happen and if Liverpool don't want to implement it then no problem.

Yous two quite finished? I never had any problems with terracing. .... As long as there were crush barriers

used to be a right blast someone pissing down yer leg ..

Safe standing is a lot safer than standing in seated areas which happens just now

Celtic will put it in after commonwealth games I'm sure

(we) Utd, have stood at aways for years, have had reduced ticket allocations at Boro and S/land because of it. Scousers stand at their aways and a lot do on the Kop and Annie Rd End and I believe they have also had reduced ticket allocations because of it. It coming I believe.
