Owen Riches is a political campaigner from Suffolk, who founded the petition campaign calling for safe standing to be legalised and introduced in the Premier League and English Football League.

The petition gathered 112,026 signatures over 6 months, gathering media attention after Tracey Crouch rejected the application submitted by West Bromwich Albion F.C. for a safe standing area, and after the petition promoted a parliamentary debate, and numerous other fan polls took place the government were promoted into reviewing safe standing.

On the final day of the petition being open, on 8 June 2018, Dr Rosena Allin-Khan announced that the Labour Party would support the safe standing campaign.
