The majority of the 72 Football League clubs have voted in favour of safe standing areas being introduced at Championship grounds.
Rules that football grounds have to be all-seater were implemented in the Premier League and the second tier following an inquiry into the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.
Ninety-six Liverpool fans died as a result of a crush in one of the stands at Sheffield Wednesday's stadium during an FA Cup clash against Nottingham Forest.
However, safe standing areas including retractable seats have been given the thumbs-up by a number of Football League clubs at a meeting today, according to Sky Sports News.
Standing sections have proved to be successful in grounds around Europe, most notably in Germany.
