Safe standing will be extended in the North Stand early in the 2026/27 season.

The club can confirm safe standing will be extended to the lower rows of the North Stand in September 2026.

In December, a survey was sent to season ticket holders in the North Stand and the overwhelming majority voted for safe standing to be extended to the lower rows.

Due to the extensive improvement work currently taking place in the North Stand, safe standing will be installed during the international break in September 2026.

This will mean the 2026/27 season starts with safe standing in rows R upwards, the same as this season. From October 2026, safe standing will be in place from N1B rows I-Q seat 64-79 upward, and from N1C through to block N1G row H-Q seat 82-196.

Following a review of the voting, safe standing is moving to lower rows but only in more central blocks where this had the most support.

This may mean that sight lines are impacted for the seats situated immediately next to safe standing areas, but this will only be the case when play moves into the north end penalty box when it is expected fans will stand due to the play being so close to goal.

For those supporters whose seats will be converted to safe standing, a priority window will be available to move elsewhere in the stadium.
