Following on from his succesful seven-year campaign to get safe standing at St Marys Stadium, in 2024 Andrew Pope began his campaign for extra handrails.
He has continued his campaign and added pressure to Southampton FC, Southampton City Council and the Safety Advisory Group that issues the Safety Certificate for the Stadium.
Now, more handrails or p-rails have been added, and more are under consideration.
Andrew says:
"This is great news. I am pleased that the Saints owners and staff have listened to me, acting on behalf of Saints fans who felt unsafe on the steep stairs and who asked me to act on their behalf.
I listen. I lead. I act.
Whether it is on sprinklers in tower blocks, rail seats at St Marys or sprinklers at Southampton General Hospital, this is what the Independent Network and Southampton Independents is all about. Your safety."
