Taylor Report
|
The Taylor Report is a document, whose development was overseen by Lord Justice Taylor, concerning the aftermath and causes of the Hillsborough disaster in 1989. It sought to establish the causes of the tragedy, and make recommendations regarding the provision of safety at sporting events in future.
It is synonymous with the recommendation that all major stadia convert to an all-seater model. The Football League in England and the Scottish Football League introduced regulations intimating that clubs in the highest divisions must comply to this recommendation, and some clubs started upgrading their stadia even before this rule was introduced.
Other smaller recommendations were made on such items including alcohol within stadia, crush barriers, fences, turnstiles and other stadium items.
