consequences
The mass accidents often sparked discussions about safety in the stadiums. After the Hillsborough disaster on April 15, 1989, the Taylor Report recommended that all standing room be abolished and the stadiums converted into pure seating arenas. In England this has been done from 1994, FIFA and UEFA followed suit. It was not until 2017 that the first English clubs applied to be allowed to introduce so-called safe standing .
