The Taylor Report which followed the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 recommended that all stadia within the English Premier League must be all seating by the start of the 1994-95 season. This resulted in major restructuring of famous stadiums such as Old Trafford and Anfield and the creation of new stadiums such as Brittania Park and The Emirates Stadium.
