Sorry for the delay in posting this follow-up...I thought no-one was going to respond to my original message!!Anyway,the meeting was very interesting and was attended by fans from Leeds,Man U,Man City and by Malcolm Clarke from the FSA.We discussed the campaign so far and studied the response from Kate Hoey...She seems to have had her head filled with nonsense about the latest "safe standing" arrangements in Germany.She stated that they install loose wooden benches onto existing terraces and that this arrangement would not be acceptable over here!! I should hope not-we have now taken steps to ensure she is made aware of the excellent convertable seating/standing facilities they have in Germany. We exchanged ideas on the best way forward and decided to try to raise the profile of the campaign through TV and radio coverage...we are all taking responsibility for our respective areas. Please contact either myself or Phill Gatenby (spokesperson for the campaign) for the very latest news...things are really starting to happen now and progress IS being made!! Tara for now and thanks for your [email protected] OR [email protected]
