Standing at Premier League matches - Fulham 2001-02 and Sunderland 1996/7

 Despite what Match-of-the-Day said the Chelsea v Liverpool on 2 January 2022 was not the first time there was official standing at Premier League match. 

In August 2001 I stood on the paddock terraces at Craven Cottage as newly promoted Fulham beat Sunderland 2-0.  

In 1996/7, Sunderland played at Roker Park in the Premier League and the ground capacity of around 21,000 was largely made up of terracing including both the Fulwell and Roker Ends.
