Old Trafford has a capacity of 76,000Manchester United have applied for permission to install rail seating for up to 1,500 fans at Old Trafford. Season ticket holders in that area have been told a safe standing trial is likely to take place later this season. Tottenham's new stadium has "safe seating" which has been "future-proofed" for the potential introduction of standing, while Wolves installed rail seating at their Molineux ground in the summer. It comes just days after a government report found stadium seating areas which incorporate barriers have a "positive impact on spectator safety". The interim report from the Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA) found such seating areas "mitigate the risk of crowd collapse".
