Town are to become the first club in England and Wales to install safe standing in their all-seater stadium later this month as work gets under way.

Paul Hurst’s men could yet bring safe standing to the Championship, as they gear up for the League One play-offs, which begin next Thursday.

They aim to make the ‘Blue and Amber Army’ singing section as loud and vibrant as possible for it to be a success.
