Standing Room Only
More reports on the plans to reconsider all seater stadiums in England from the BBC:
Campaigners for the return of standing areas at British football grounds say the Bundesliga provides evidence that it can be done safely.
Stadia in England's top two divisions have had to be all-seater ever since the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.
But the German FA resisted pressure to follow suit and at least 10% of tickets at Bundesliga games must be standing.
German stadium expert Professor Gunter Pilz said: "We have never had safety problems with standing in Germany."
Fans groups the Football Supporters' Federation (FSF) and Stand Up Sit Down (SUSD) are leading a campaign to re-open the case for standing sections in England's top two divisions. And they both point to Germany as an example of how this can be done without jeopardising safety.
