Reopen our Football Grounds at PL, EFL and National League Level
Football clubs that are often the centre of the community they are based in have had their doors closed since March. Attending football matches is a release to many people and needs to reopen again just like Step 3 down. Social distancing can be achieved safely in a Covid Secure football ground.
The UK Government need to allow fans back into PL and EFL games (even at a reduced capacity initally) as clubs are currently on the brink due to lack of income that a matchday brings which could casue a community to lose its club. On top of this, other events venues have been allowed to open (incl. indoors) where safety would be far more of a concern that an amout of people sitting in an outdoor arena watching football. A football ground is far easier to socially distance than say a pub.
