It is widely thought that the same will happen this time, although some of the campaigners behind the Bill simply want to get the issue of safe standing back on the public agenda.

Gary Hewitt, a founder member of Safe Areas for England (SAFE), is leading a delegation of football fans to the Commons to lobby in favour of the Bill.

He said: "This is about letting the government and chairmen know that we've not forgotten about this issue and it's not something that is going to go away."

But the issue has proved controversial in the past with families of the victims of the Hillsborough tragedy voicing opposition.
