Premier League releases an open letter urging UK Government to let fans back inside stadiums

While fans in Germany and France have returned over the last few weeks by maintaining social distance and limited capacity - they’ve managed to do what England haven’t. However, with pilot programs and test games conducted, the English FA were overly convinced that they could have fans back inside stadiums by early October although that hasn’t been the case so far. To make things even better, supporters will be allowed to attend the international games that will take place over the next few weeks.

"We know attendance at matches can play a positive role in people’s lives during these challenging times. And the past few months have shown how clubs can still feel the support of their fans. Even when you have been unable to get together, you and your clubs have found ways to make a difference in your communities, with clubs delivering food parcels, taking part in phone calls and online conversations with fans, the elderly and vulnerable and moving services and programmes online to make a difference in unprecedented and challenging circumstances. But we all know football is not the same without fans. Every player and manager is missing the direct connection with you and the impact that you have on our games."
