Tottenham Hotspur have become the first club in the Premier League to trial safe standing.

With work on the Lilywhites’ new home well underway, the club have taken steps regarding the possibility of safe standing in the future at the state-of-the-art stadium.

An area has been designed in the north stand of the ground, and it is believed it could be rolled out in the south stand if successful.

However, it is only a purely visual idea at present.

The photos, which were revealed on Twitter by the TottenhamAMF account, seem to have gone down very well with the club’s supporters.

The club responded to the message on Twitter insisting: "This is part of future proofing should legislation change. These seats are only being trialled."

While the new rail seating has been successful at Celtic Park since it was introduced one year ago, a number of Premier League fans have called for it to be incorporated in stadiums in England.

The Premier League has written to all top flight clubs regarding the matter, although there remain doubts about whether or not it will eventually go ahead.

Despite possible uncertainties regarding the proposal, Spurs have confirmed that they would be open to safe standing at their new home.

A club spokesman said: "We have consistently said that we would be open to investigating the opportunity to incorporate safe standing within our new stadium should legislation and licencing permit this."
