I will start my saying that I am fully in favour of the re-introduction of standing at football grounds not because I myself wish to stand particularly, but because I recognise that plenty of fans do. However if any progress is to be made campaigners need to understand that politicians will need to be persuaded that not only can standing be safe but that it would at the least not hinder security (i.e. not an aid to those that wish to cause trouble). As it they that will get the blame from the voting public if its re-introduction was to lead us back to the dark days of 70's/80's style hooliganism.
