Safe standing SPL pilot

Hopefully they allow it for a season it goes well then the FA move up the leagues with it till eventually its in use in the prem
 
Step in the right direction. If it goes well it will only help the cause progress in England, especially if clubs with bigger grounds like Celtic take it up.

still quite a few teams lower down in the leagues who still have standing terraces i.e the sandy lane end at spotland

Great news indeed, only time now when it happens in England & Wales - if fans keep the pressure up.

Neil Doncasrer from the SFA was chief exec at Norwich and he was very pro safe standing then, met him twice to discuss the issue.

Brilliant news.....
 
Unlike England and Wales where legislation regarding all seated stadia was introduced through the Taylor report report after Hillsborough, Scotland wasn't bound by this, the all seated rule was an SPL thing not legislation, and therefore it's easier for the SPL to allow standing areas, governments/lawyers etc dont need to be involved

Indeed. But as I said, if clubs with large stadiums like Celtic implement safe standing it can prove whether it can work in English football. If it does go well it will certainly help the cause progress in English football and help the case of those who want a change in the law.
