We have been contacted by the Albion with a view to
finding the best time to highlight support of the Safe Standing campaign.
It is a complex issue that, as demonstrated by this
thread, prompts reactions from a number of viewpoints. We have been pleased to
see how this thread has promoted a wider understanding of how future changes might
be implemented while causing us to recognise that some uncertainty and
sensitivities remain.
We re-iterate that our message was a show of support for
the Albion’s recent announcement and to promote an opportunity for fans within
the ground to show their support for the Safe Standing campaign.
It’s clear that the law in England must change first. One
way to make this happen is for a popular show of support for Safe Standing. If you
support Safe Standing contact your MP and ask them to support any future
proposed changes to legislation. Without the support of MPs this will not happen.
They work for you and as such people should let them know their views.
Our aim was to encourage fans to show their support for
the Albion’s announcement at a home game. However, the club are uncomfortable with
fans doing this at this time. As a result the club prefer that we postpone this
weekend’s show of support
We remain happy to discuss this with anyone who would
like to talk to us and look forward to a renewed enthusiasm for this issue.
