Review the Ban on Football Fans Attending Games Socially Distanced and Safely.
Football, especially in lower leagues is in a perilous state. Clubs rely on matchday revenue to survive and the current ruling denying fans from attending could see clubs fall into administration. Safety advisory groups have worked with clubs to make attendance safe, legislation change required.
Without the government changing the legislation, the English football pyramid is at risk, this is something that provides employment to hundreds of thousands of people around the country and gives millions a community presence that supports wider parts of the economy.
Other countries have shown that attendance at football stadiums is safe if done properly, Safety Advisory groups have worked closely with teams to provide safe socially distanced attendance. Please review your current decision.
