Safe standing at football games

[Rugby Foxes]

I just wanted to encourage as many Leicester fans as possible to click on the link below and sign the petition. There's a debate in Parliament in June about having safe standing areas at football grounds in the Premiership and Championship and it would be great if as many MPs as possible got behind the notion. I have recently been to a Borussia Dortmund game with 30,000 fans standing safely behind a goal and it was some sight.

17th June to be exact, as with all Ten Minute Rule bills, it's been given a Friday second reading, which is when most MPs travel back to their constituencies so people need to start writing to their MP a few weeks in advance to try and convince them to turn up as most of these fail at the second reading due to lack of interest.

A reminder of Don Foster's speech if anyone cares to read it: http://www.theyworkf...7b.188.0#g188.2

It was done a month or so ago on here mate, keep raising it's profile though. I tried to keep it going but it disappeared on here quite quickly. Still only 11,000 or so sigs is disappointing though
