Safe Standing Roadshow visits Blackpool and Birmingham

Birmingham City have been charged by the EFL for allegedly breaching the business plan imposed on the club by the league following sanctions last season – and now Blues fans want answers.

The Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) was contacted last night by the Sports Ground Safety Association (SGSA), who told us that the option for football clubs to offer licensed standing at all levels of the game in England and Wales has at last been passed into official Government policy.

Blackpool has been put into receivership by the High Court, paving the way for the sale of the club and the end of the Oystons’ ownership.

It’s an activity that plenty of football fans take for granted, but this Saturday many thousands of Blackpool fans will walk through the turnstiles of their home ground for the first time in years. It’s been a long time coming.
