Roger Godsiff chaired a panel of experts drawn from football club CEOs, the police, academics and safety professionals to discuss the benefits of safe standing in football stadia in front of an audience of MPs, journalists and football industry figures.
Roger tabled an Early Day Motion on October 15 calling for a 'rail seats' trial at grounds which has been signed by over 50 MP’s.

He said: "Firstly, let me make it clear what we are not seeking to do. We are not seeking a return to old -style terracing. Above all, we are not seeking to devalue the memory of the 96 people who died at Hillsborough or other football disasters such as Bradford, Ibrox or Heysel. I believe that the time is right for a trial to take place and the campaign is asking for the Secretary of State to make the necessary legislative changes to allow this to happen." The Football Supporters Federation (FSF) spokesman said: "Both Aston Villa and the Matchday Commander responsible for policing in

West Midlands now back the FSF's Safe Standing campaign.”
