Ban the use of concrete walls in football stadiums to prevent serious injury

Closed 53 signatures

What the petition asks

We ask the Government to introduce legislation to ban the use of concrete perimeter walls in football stadiums. This should include mandatory replacement with safer alternatives such as padded barriers or extended runoff zones, enforced by updated stadium safety regulations.
We want the Government to act because lives are at risk. Concrete walls in stadiums can cause serious injury or death during high-speed collisions. By legislating their removal and enforcing safer designs, the Government can protect players and fans, modernise stadium safety standards, and show leadership in prioritising public wellbeing. This change is urgent, achievable, and vital for the future of UK football.
