More than half of top flight clubs are set to tell Premier League bosses that they would be open to piloting safe standing – should such a scenario arise.
As revealed by Sportsmail on Thursday, the league wrote to all 20 of its sides to see if they would be interested in trialling the safe standing at matches.
And it is understood that the majority will confirm that they would be open to such an idea.
The issue remains an emotive one – especially on Merseyside.
