Earlier this year, the Arsenal Supporter’s Trust carried out a survey of Arsenal fans (not just its members), on the issue of safe standing in football stadia.

In conjunction with AISA, REDaction and the Black Scarf Movement, over 7,000 responses were collated, and the results show an overwhelming support for the idea of standing in football grounds.

Key findings include:

More than 96% of fans are in favour of safe standing at the football grounds.

Over three quarters (76%) of Arsenal fans surveyed said that they would want to utilise safe standing if it was available.

85% of fans who said they would not use safe standing themselves were still in favour of

there being safe standing areas in the ground.

there being safe standing areas in the ground. Just over 2.5% of fans objected to any form of safe safe standing.

In terms of the club’s role in helping make safe standing a reality, 92% of respondents wanted Arsenal to champion the cause, and 94% suggested some form of safe standing trial should take place at the Emirates.
