Wolves to Pilot 'Safe Standing' Seating Options at Molineux in Preparation for Legislation Changes

Wolves have announced that they are to become the first Premier League clubs to pilot seating options that could be used for 'safe-standing' in the future, in preparation for government legislation changes that could lift the ban on standing areas in the top two tiers of English football.

Premier League and Championship clubs have had to maintain strictly all-seater stadiums since 1994, as standing areas have since been banned as a result of the Hillsborough disaster.

Molineux will be one of the first @premierleague grounds to pilot a selection of seating options that could be used for safe-standing should legislation change.
