Premier League: 5 Reasons Why Stadiums Need Standing Sections

3. Football Has Evolved

Football has evolved beyond the hooliganism and violent firms of the past. Football fans of the current era are a lot more calm, controlled and respectful than before. Standing areas have been long associated with the violent history of football which isn't fair. Some people will disagree with this point but for me it is true. One of the arguments brought forwards by associations against standing areas is that it will encourage people to go back to the firms and it simply isn't true. People are smarter than before and won't start fighting again just because they are aloud to stand up.
