LONDON -- The English Premier League is exploring whether fans should be allowed to stand at games again, more than 20 years after stadiums were ordered to be all-seated.It would require a change to the law banning standing areas after the 1989 Hillsborough disaster where 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death in an overcrowded section of the stadium in Sheffield at a FA Cup semifinal.So-called safe-standing has been introduced in Scotland where seats can be flipped up and locked in place, providing space to stand behind a waist-high rail.The Premier League administration is receptive to calls for the standing areas and was asked by its clubs at a meeting on Thursday to look into the feasibility and safety of adopting the rail seats.This is a complex and emotive topic with a number of issues, varying from club to club, which need to be considered carefully before clubs can decide if they wish to pursue any changes, including legislative, that are required to allow them the option of safe standing areas in their grounds, the league said in a statement.The clubs have tasked the Premier League with scoping out the safety, supporter, technical and legislative? issues surrounding safe standing before any further discussions, based on the facts, can take place.Although 27 years have passed since Hillsborough, the ongoing legal battles by the families of the dead fans over the cause of Britains worst sports disaster has slowed the campaign for standing areas. A jury ruled this year that the victims were unlawfully killed and police and emergency services were to blame.Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre declined to comment as he left the London meeting where standing was discussed. West Ham co-owner David Gold acknowledged it was a difficult subject and said there was so much to be done.English Football Association chairman Greg Clarke believes the atmosphere at games would be enhanced if fans could stand.The chances of falling over are much less if there is a rail in front of you, Clarke said. With the issues of Hillsborough they will want to ensure that its going to be safe and well-policed.If football works together on this then we could get a result and the fans would love it.UEFA insists on all-seat stadiums for European games, so any change to the law in England would only allow fans to stand during domestic fixtures.In Germany, there are standing sections, notably at Borussia Dortmund behind a goal where some of the loudest fans are.In France, the national supporters group is lobbying for the return of standing tribunes, arguing that they would improve safety and create a more festive atmosphere. But there is little appetite to relax stadium regulations which were toughened after the Furiani disaster in Corsica in 1992 when one of the terraces collapsed, killing 18 people.---AP Sports Writers Samuel Petrequin in Paris and Nesha Starcevic in Frankfurt, Germany contributed to this report.Rob Harris is at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReportsBen Banogu Youth Jersey .

Darius Leonard Jersey .2 billion agreement with Rogers Communications for the leagues broadcast and multimedia rights.SEATTLE -- Jimmy Grahams statement about his most productive game since suffering a major knee injury was left to what he did on the field, all of it coming in one impressive half on Sunday.Hes a phenomenal athlete and its going to be cool to see him develop more so in our offense this year, Seattle tight end Luke Willson said.Less than a year after suffering a torn patellar tendon in his right knee, Graham was back to being a focal point for Seattle.He finished with six catches for 100 yards and just his third touchdown catch with the Seahawks in a 37-18 romp of the San Francisco 49ers .All of his catches came in the first half as Seattle built a 24-3 lead and rolled to a fifth straight regular-season win over the 49ers.After the game, Graham shared smiles and a handshake with team owner Paul Allen in the Seahawks locker room, then disappeared down a hallway and didnt poke his head back into the locker room again.He wanted to have this kind of impact in the game, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. He looked great. Its thrilling to see him.Graham was not supposed to be back by now. Being back on the field in 9+ months is not the typical timeline of an injury as severe as the one he suffered last November against Pittsburgh and just as he was beginning to find a more prominent role in Seattles offense.Carroll continued to say through the offseason that Graham was on pace to be ready for the season opener and he proved correct when Graham took the field in Week 1 against Miami.But getting back on the field and being the threat Graham was in the past are two separate matters. And the latter is what Graham showed against the 49ers.His 18-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter came on a broken play when Russell Wilson scrambled left and found Graham coming open in the middle of the field. But his two most important catches both came in third-down situations.Seattle was faciing third-and-15 on its second possession.dddddddddddd Wilson threw a strike down the middle and Graham was able to hold on to an 18-yard catch despite a crunching hit from safety Eric Reid. Graham caught a 12-yard pass later in the drive to set up Christine Michaels second TD run of the game.But the catch everyone was talking about was Grahams 40-yard jump-ball reception where he wrestled the ball out of Reids arms as he came down.It was a free play because the 49ers had jumped offside, but Wilson gave Graham the chance to use his athleticism and size to make the catch. He also showed a trust in Graham that was always being worked on last season.Hes like 6-(foot)-9. Just throw it up to him, Wilson joked. You look down the field just trying to find somebody and there is this big guy running down the field and just tried to give him a chance.Graham was once the primary target of a pass-happy offense as he was during his time in New Orleans. Thats not how it works in Seattle, even with Marshawn Lynch gone and Wilson having shown he can run more of a pass-based offense.What he showed against the 49ers was still having the ability to make defenses account for his presence on the field.Jimmy has done an excellent job of being patient. Sometimes it can be frustrating because he came from an offense where he was seeing all these targets and thats just not the way that we do it here, Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin said.But hes been patient and hes bought in with the fact that were more about controlling the game with the ground game and making the best of our opportunities when we get the targets. ... Hes fully bought into the fact that this is how we play football.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
