In Scotland at least.
http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottis...proved-by-spl/ SPL clubs free to introduce safe standing areas Clubs will now be able to ask the league's board for permission to pilot standing areas. 19 December 2011 12:08 GMT SPL clubs free to introduce safe standing areas Safe standing sections could be introduced in the Scottish Premier League, following the approval of a plan to allow top flight clubs to pilot the idea. Following a meeting of the 12 member clubs on Monday, a vote was passed to amend current rules stating all SPL grounds must be all-seater. The SPL board will now have the ability to approve any request made by a club to pilot a standing area, subject to further approval from the police and local authorities. Neil Doncaster, chief executive of the SPL, said: “Since I joined the SPL in 2009, there has been widespread support amongst fans to re-introduce safe standing areas. "I am delighted that we have been able to respond positively to supporters’ views on improving the match day experience. There is no jurisdiction under Scots law preventing standing areas returning, with only an amendment to the SPL's rules required. Top flight grounds in Scotland have been all-seater since 1994 and current regulations stipulate the need for all clubs to have a minimum capacity of 6,000 all-seated. |
