ASTON VILLA HAVE offered to trial what they call ‘safe-standing’ at Villa Park to see if it will work in the Premier League an official for the club was quoted as saying today.

A vote of the 72 Football League clubs in early February saw the majority in favour of bringing back standing in the Championship and Lee Preece, Aston Villa’s football operations manager, told the BBC today that up to ‘seven or eight’ Premier League clubs were also open to the idea.
