Safe standing setback for West Brom is “really disappointing” say campaigners
Safe standing campaigners today described the government’s decision to reject West Bromwich Albion’s proposals for the return of football terraces as “really disappointing”. Liverpool FC supporters have been keeping a keen eye on the safe standing debate as it touches on the sensitivities of families of the 96 fans who died at Hillsborough.

Ashley Barnes scored a superb volley as Burnley kept alive their dreams of European football next season and edged West Brom nearer to relegation from the Premier League. There was little to choose between the two sides on Saturday. Neither have been prolific scorers this campaign but Burnley are organised and dogged and when Barnes' scissor kick put the visitors ahead after 22 minutes it was already a long way back for the Baggies. Chris Wood marked his recall to the team with the second goal after 73 minutes to seal a third straight Premier League victory, although Salomon Rondon pulled a goal back late on and it finished 2-1 at The Hawthorns. The win moved Burnley to within two points of sixth-placed Arsenal. West Brom, meanwhile, have now lost eight on the spin in the league and remain bottom of the table and 10 points adrift of safety. The hosts created the first chance after nine minutes. A patient, tidy move through the pitch saw Allan Nyom find some space out wide on the right. … [Read more...] about Burnley hold on at West Brom to secure all three points and keep European hopes alive
