Bolton Wanderers have announced that safe standing will be introduced at the Toughsheet Community Stadium following the visit of Stoke City when Championship football returns after the international break.

Parts of the South Stand Upper and a small section of the East Stand Upper will be the first two areas to receive installed safe standing.

After the visit of Bradford City in November last year, the club was audited, with persistent standing was deemed to be a serious issue in certain areas.

Wanderers have been working since to find a solution to the problem, now choosing to install safe standing railing as a way to create a safe fix. This will allow the club to return to selling tickets in the areas, having had the section, specifically in the South Stand, cordoned off for much of this season.
