Everton supporters have backed proposals to introduce safe standing at games.
A number of Premier League clubs are currently exploring the possibility of rolling out sections of the ‘rail seat’ structures at their respective grounds.
Scottish champions Celtic became the first UK club to trial the system, used in Germany by half of Bundesliga sides including Borussia Dortmund and Hamburg.
The Everton Supporters Trust (EST) carried out a survey to gauge the opinion of Blues fans on the issue, which remains incredibly divisive and contentious.
Conducted both online and in person before home matches against Manchester United and Swansea City, over 1,400 supporters took part in the feedback.
EST’s findings showed that 90% of participants believed that safe standing should be introduced at Goodison or the club’s potential new stadium.
Additionally 92% agreed that fans should be offered the choice on whether to be placed in a standing or seated place when attending Everton home games.
EST Chair Simon Magner said: “EST conducted this survey in an attempt to get as many thoughts and feelings of Evertonians on a subject that is an incredibly emotive subject for football fans on Merseyside.
“The response to the survey was incredible, the fan-base has spoken and the results speak for themselves.
“There is clearly a growing appetite nationally with similar results from similar surveys conducted by fan groups and Supporters Trusts up and down the country.
“Everton Supporters Trust are encouraged by the attitudes of club officials with regards to Safe Standing.”
Everton chairman Bill Kenwright pledged at last month’s General Meeting that the club would consult supporters about the possibility of introducing safe standing.
Standing at English top flight games was abolished on recommendations made in the Taylor Report, which investigated the cause of the Hillsborough disaster.
Last year an inquest into the 1989 tragedy which cost the lives of 96 Liverpool fans in Sheffield delivered a verdict of unlawful killing.
