Safe-standing could be brought in at Molineux

• Wolves have selected seating options to be used for safe-standing

• Current government policy prevents any form of standing area in the top two tiers of English football.

• West Bromwich Albion had their application for safe-standing rejected by the government last year

Wolverhampton Wanderers has become one of the first Premier League teams to pilot a selection of seating options in their stadium that could be used for safe-standing should government legislation on all-seater stadiums change.

Three rail-seat solutions have been installed in a currently unused block of the Billy Wright Stand, with two further options due to be installed this week.

Current government policy prevents any form of standing area in the top two tiers of English football.

It has been confirmed by the Sports Ground Safety Authority that, provided certain strict conditions are met, both independent barriers and seats incorporating barriers can be licensed as compliant with the government’s all-seater policy.

Last season Wolves managing director Laurie Dalrymple confirmed the club’s interest in the Molineux being used for any future safe standing pilot scheme.

In 2018, West Bromwich Albion had their application for safe-standing rejected by the government.

Shrewsbury Town have also shown interest in introducing safe-standing to their stadium.
