And it will last all of 10 minutes when they will all agree to maintain the status quo.
 
Got this last night,

You’re receiving this email because you signed this petition: “Allow Premier League and Championship football clubs to introduce safe standing”.


The Government has responded to the petition you signed – “Allow Premier League and Championship football clubs to introduce safe standing”.

Government responded:

The Government believes that all-seater stadia are currently the best means to ensure the safety and security of fans at designated football matches in England and Wales.

The Government thanks all the football supporters who made their views known through this petition.

The Government believes that all-seater stadia are currently the best means to ensure the safety and security of fans at designated football matches in England and Wales, while continuing to work closely with the Sports Grounds Safety Authority and football authorities to consider advances in technology and data that may enhance the existing policy.

A debate in Parliament on this issue has been tabled for 25 June, when the nuances and complexities of sports ground safety will be covered in more detail.

Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

So basically they'll discuss if for 5 minutes, say everything is fine as it is and that'll be that.
 
We all know whats coming.

One thing I am wondering though is if I have misjudged the demand for safe standing, I was under the impression most football fans supported it certainly when I speak to every match going fan they do, so why did the petition only get 110k signatures when hundreds of thousands will be attending games this weekend?

A lot didn't know about it perhaps either that or a lot who use to stand don't bother going anymore.

Shame really just think it would have been a real statement if we had got hundreds of thousands signing it

The problem is, if the government just brush the debate under the carpet, another petition will be launched and ad infinitum. That's going to be the only way we will get through to them.

Because people in this country are piss weak when it comes to making a stand.

Lots of people dont have the internet believe it or not.........plus most standers have stopped going years ago
 
I think there are a lot of delusional standers on here.
110000 signatures is risible.
Petitions have achieved millions of signatures, been debated and rejected.

Perhaps you really are in the minority I think you are.
