Congrats! I well recall showing HTSA members the safe standing concept way back in 2012! All good things take time.

Great to see the UK's latest safe standing area all set to open at @StJohnstone - And all the better that it's fitted with proper, compact, steel rail seats, funded in part through the fundraising efforts of the @faircityunity supporters group. Well done club and fans!

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming football fan Jon Darch to the Wham Stadium! 🤝 Jon is “Doing the 92” in style and we were proud to be his 65th stop. 📽️ Accrington Stanley fan Stephen Lowe caught up with @SafeStandingRS in the 1968 Lounge. #IndustryAndPrudenceConquer

Good to see QPR considering an expansion of their rail seating area. Good too to see a club consulting with fans on this, as QPR did first time around as well.
3 Dec 2025
A further extension of our existing rail seating is currently being explored 🏟️ We’re reaching out to potentially impacted supporters to begin a consultation process 🤝

Happy to chip in for this. Would encourage other supporters of safe standing to consider doing likewise. gofund.me/b6ee4b94d Good luck, FCU!

Before people get too carried away with their "banter" next weekend, can we all just take a minute to remind ourselves of what our former Head Coach went through last October. Must be pretty much a year to the day since Liam Manning and his family lost baby Theo — something no parent should ever have to go through. And something that I know affected a great many of us deeply. Despite that, not only did he drag himself out of the pits of hell, but he came back and took us to our highest league position in nearly 20 years... If that doesn't deserve our respect, then I honestly don't know what does. Support our lads, of course we want the win. But let's do it in a way that reflects the best of us, with class, compassion and perspective when it comes to LM... 🙏🏽 ❤️🤍

Looking forward to playing a part on the FAB. Am particularly keen to see the FAB work with the club to protect heritage assets like club name, colours, crest and stadium location.

Our friends at @SWFCTrust are continuing their campaign to protest the mismanagement of their club. They have asked that all travelling #BristolCity fans show solidarity by not spending any money inside Hillsborough this Saturday, and buy food & drink elsewhere Link in replies

Something for all football fans in Scotland. If I was one, I'd definitely be signing this. Football is all about being able to celebrate goals spontaneously. VAR sucks that joy out of the game.

📣 It’s official: Safe Standing is coming to Bramall Lane! ~3,000 at the back of the Kop, plus a section of the away end, and to be introduced this year. Delighted that the news is now out there. A big thanks to the supporters of this campaign over these past few years
Following a series of meetings and consultations with relevant stakeholders, Sheffield United is set to introduce 'Safe Standing' at Bramall Lane during the 2025-26 campaign. 🏟️
