Arsenal fans have been asked to give their opinion on whether they wish to have a safe standing area installed at the Emirates Stadium.
Celtic have had one installed in Parkhead this season, and the introduction has been a very positive one, leading to calls for other clubs to do the same.
A meeting has now been held on Monday in North London with the Arsenal Trust, and this was posted on their website following the event.
“On Monday evening, the AST held an open meeting on safe standing.
“This meeting was addressed by guest speakers from the Football Supporters’ Federation (FSF) and (English) Football League.
“Also in attendance to support the discussion were representatives from REDaction, BSM (Black Scarf Movement) and AISA (Arsenal Independent Supporters’ Association).
“The meeting heard about the progress being made in considering options to return to safe standing and that the Premier League is soon to conduct some formal research and consultation into the subject.
“This work will include discussion with supporters’ groups, building on a meeting the AST had with the Premier League chief executive last summer when we urged him to review the issue. This debate follows the successful introduction of safe standing by Celtic Football Club.
“This survey is open to all Arsenal fans and we are hoping for a large response so that we can represent the views of as many people as possible on this important topic.”
The survey can be filled out by following the link below.

Do fans want to see a safe standing area brought to the Emirates stadium? Should all clubs have one?
