Eurostand 98
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eurostand was a campaign among European football supporters in 1998. The background was an UEFA ban on standing in the terraces.
The campaign culminated in September that year when supporter groups around Europe decided to sit down and keep quiet in the first half of a game with their favourite team. The purpose was to show the difference between a standing crowd and a sedentary one. The campaign was little successful, although many fans kept quiet, and the current ban on standing in the terraces do not appear to be lifted within a foreseeable future.
The all-seater restoration of European football grounds followed in the wake of the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.
