• Sports Grounds Safety Authority welcomed by government
• Safe standing ‘has had a positive impact on spectator safety’
Safe standing across English football has come a step closer after a report found it had “a positive impact on spectator safety”.
The findings, made by the Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA) in an interim report, have been welcomed by government. They could herald the return of standing to the top two divisions in England for the first time since the implementation of the Taylor report, should they be borne out in the final version of the report due this summer.
