Anfield set for 12-month trial of seats with safety rails next season

Liverpool are to trial temporary rail seating at Anfield next season as part of a continuing review over safety.

The subject has been a difficult one for the club to approach over the years because they are sensitive to the families of the 96 people who died after the terrace crush at Hillsborough in 1989.

However, they have been in regular dialogue with representatives and wrote to all the families on Monday and Margaret Aspinall, who lost her 18-year-old son James and is the former chair of the disbanded Hillsborough Family Support Group, has given her support.
