According to the Daily Telegraph, the 21st round of the Premier League of the season, which will be played at 0:30 Beijing time on January 3, Chelsea's match at home against Liverpool will be the first game to test safety seats.
After the 1989 Hillsborough massacre, which killed 97 Liverpool fans, the English League stipulated that fans could only stand in designated stands to watch the ball, and in recent years there have been calls for the Premier League to learn from the Bundesliga practice, changing some of the stands that were originally seats into spaces where fans can choose to "legally stand", the so-called safe seats.
A few days ago, the British government approved a plan to select five clubs from Cardiff City, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur for safe standing tests, which must comply with certain conditions, including increasing security protection facilities and strengthening the use of closed-circuit television. Nigel Huddleston, Britain's sports minister, said "safety" would be absolutely paramount in the scheme and that the effect of the trial would provide a basis for decisions on whether to promote safety standing.
