Wolves to introduce safe standing as part of Molineux upgrade

Wolves are set to install safe standing infrastructure at their Molineux home in a move to counteract persistently standing supporters

By law all football stadiums in England’s top two tiers have to be all-seater following the Hillsborough Tragedy and resultant Taylor Report in 1990.

However, under new legislation, clubs can install seats using the ‘Rail Seat’ technology which locks metallic seats into a set position, thus creating a flow-lane along the row. Celtic and Athletic Bilbao both utilise the rail seating infrastructure.

This legislation, from the Sports Ground Safety Authority (SGSA), highlights that ‘seats incorporating barriers’ still meet the government’s all-seater law.
