Petition to allow safe standing at Celtic Park.
Despite numerous attempts by Celtic FC to get this done, neither the Scottish government or Glasgow City Council wishes to sign this off. With both blaming the other for putting the blockers on it. Celtic FC have also stated their bemusement about this ongoing issue, despite it passing all the relevant health and safety requirements. In short, no one at both bodies wishes to put their head above the parapet and pioneer this great idea. See German football for examples.
Why is this important?
I feel this is important because attendances in Scottish football are falling, and anything we can do to help bring supporters back should be considered. As long as it's safe ect. I myself would certainly go back, I stopped going mainly because I don't want to sit down at the football. And as long as it's done safely and passes all the relevant health and safety criteria, I don't see what the hold up is?
