Many Tottenham Hotspur fans have expressed their satisfaction after news broke stating that their fans could be allowed to stand during matches this season.
The Times published an article explaining that after 25 years, supporters will potentially be allowed to stand in selected Premier League and Championship stadiums from January.
It added that the Sports Ground Safety Authority (SGSA) invited clubs to apply to take part in the safe standing pilot. Tottenham, as well as Wolves, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Cardiff City and Bristol City, are said to have stadiums that can easily accommodate the safe standing areas.

The news was shared online and it didn’t take long before a number of Spurs fans were discussing what this could mean for their club.

Standing at matches being played in England’s top two divisions was banned as a consequence of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.
However, over the years, campaigners have attempted to get the law overturned to allow people to stand and watch matches safely.
It seems that many of these Spurs fans are excited at the prospect of being able to watch their club again without the current restrictions.
