The clue is in the name "Safe Standing Areas". These are not the same as the stands of the past. These are completely new innovations that have been approved for use in stadiums.

That was more to do with the fences being there rather than people standing, and of course mistakes made by the police.

The lessons have been learned, alchohol isnt as much of an issue these days and well trained stewards operate well in most stadium..and as stated, these are safe areas for standing, not pig pens.
