    That is always the case, unfortunately.

    Just shy of 95,000 now, so it will almost certainly reach the required amount to force a debate in parliament, but it's been painfully slow going.

    Wolves have just tweeted asking all their fans to sign the petition.

    We aren't a football hotbed like Norwich.

    What are the dark spots and why? Bristol, Blackpool and Manchester?

    Blackpool is obvious but not sure why the others would have more people signing it. Kind of expected a lot from the west midlands too with WBA kicking it all off and Wolves tweeting their supporters.

    Unfortunately as it is less than 18% of fans it will be ignored.

    From Martin Samuel

    If the Premier League are right and the majority of fans surveyed have a nuanced view around the reintroduction of standing at football matches, then the issue is considerably more complex than suggested.

    The league claim that while most are in favour in principle, only five per cent wish to stand for 90 minutes. 'The majority want the option of being able to stand and sit,' they say. If true, this is unworkable. You can't have a sitting area where some people chose to stand, or a standing area where some demand the freedom to sit.

    Well, you can — but it's not so different from what we have now, which at many grounds is frustration or chaos.
