THE families of Hillsborough victims have condemned a decision by the Scottish Premier League to allow standing in their stadiums.
The green light has been given to pilot a safe standing scheme at Scotland’s top-flight clubs. But last night Margaret Aspinall, chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, said she was extremely disappointed at the decision.
She said: “It’s too late for the 96, my concern now is for the living and their safety. Our stance has always been that there should be no standing whatsoever. Our worry is that this may change things for English football.”
But Scottish Premier League chief executive Neil Doncaster stressed this is not a return to the old-style terracing.
He said: “There is no suggestion we are simply opening up terracing again. It is about introducing areas that are safe for standing.”
