Pint Of Football 🍺⚽ If the safe standing is done using proper all-steel rail seats, it does, yes. #properrailseats
john hailwood They're keen, yes. It's a concept that's proven in Germany for 20+ years. It's been included in our safety guidelines since 2018. It's no longer prohibited by any outdated GB law. It would enable clubs to cut tickets prices while increasing revenue. What's not to like about it?
Great to see our Chairman Mark Eastwood STANDING UP and leading the charge on #SafeStanding. Let's continue to champion this campaign and give the fans and supporters the freedom to watch games safely. Stuart Andrew @ScottBentonMP Jason McCartney lan Byrne MP
On September 14th, the Safe Standing APPG was set up to raise awareness amongst parliamentarians and wider decision makers about #SafeStanding at football stadiums in England and Wales. CalComms acts as the group secretariat for the upcoming year.
This weekend the APPG is visiting the safe standing section at VfL Wolfsburg EN/US 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 stadium. We look forward to experiencing this first-hand and hope this marks the beginning of further parliamentary interest in safe standing! #SafeStanding #Wolfsburg
Great to see our APPG team and its Chair Mark Eastwood at work in Wolfsburg - fantastic to participate in the #SafeStanding section at #VolkswagenArena. Certainly some #Bundesliga viewing didn't hurt either! ⚽️🟢#WolfsburgvsBayerLeverkusen
Pleased to announce that we hosted another APPG meeting with our Chair Mark Eastwood in #Westminster today, which included special guest Martyn Henderson from the Sports Grounds Safety Authority. The APPG is resolutely committed to working with the SGSA to deliver #safestanding up and down the UK.
The APPG is thrilled to see Karl McCartney talking up #safestanding with Liam Scully from Lincoln City FC 🇺🇦. We are also encouraged to see how the club progresses with its trialling of safe standing at the Sincil Bank Stadium, paving the way for exciting new opportunities for fans!
On top of the 6,000 safe-standing tickets that are already made available at oldtrafford the APPG is thrilled to see talks of plans to introduce more rail seating. It is great to see one of the UK's biggest clubs Manchester United be a champion for Safe Standing
