Everything about The Taylor Report totally explained
The
Taylor Report is a document, whose development was overseen by
Lord Taylor of Gosforth, concerning the aftermath and causes of the
Hillsborough disaster in
1989. An interim report was published in August 1989, and the final report was published in January 1990. It sought to establish the causes of the tragedy, and make recommendations regarding the provision of safety at sporting events in future.
The Taylor Report is synonymous with the recommendation that all major
stadia convert to an all-seater model, that all ticketed spectators have seats, as opposed to some or all being obliged to stand.
The Football League in England and the
Scottish Football League introduced regulations intimating that clubs in the highest divisions must comply to this recommendation.
Some clubs had started upgrading their stadia before this rule was introduced. For example,
St Johnstone arranged for the construction of
McDiarmid Park, which opened in time for the
1989-90 season.
The report stated that standing accommodation isn't intrinsically unsafe, but the government decided that no standing accommodation was to be allowed at all.
Stand Up Sit Down is a group campaigning for a compromise on this issue, arguing that some fans should be allowed to stand even in a seated area.
Other recommendations of the Taylor Report included points on items such as the sale of
alcohol within stadia, crush barriers, fences, turnstiles, ticket prices and other
stadium items.
