Premier League clubs ‘could host tens of thousands of fans by January’ if there is no spike in coronavirus cases
Nov 25, 2020
PREMIER LEAGUE clubs could host tens of thousands of fans inside stadiums by January if there is no spike in coronavirus cases, according to reports.
On Monday it was announced football fans will be welcomed back in to stadiums on December 2 .
Thousands are still set to be locked out with outdoor gates capped at just 4,000 - with the exact limit dependant on local Covid-19 rates.
But that number could be boosted massively in early 2021 with plans for pilot events hosting tens of thousands of fans, according to The Telegraph .
However, the plans are set to include only 'some' Premier League clubs.
Even then, the pilot events being given the green light hinges on the nation's reaction to the current lockdown ending next Wednesday.
The plan to get tens of thousands of supporters back inside stadiums can only go ahead if there is no spike in coronavirus cases in December.
Premier League clubs know they stand to LOSE money by welcoming back only a few thousand fans at most.
And the report states club officials want the Government to provide a roadmap to fuller stadiums in the immediate future.
Bosses at Premier League clubs had hoped pilot events that would see bigger crowds could run parallel with the new scheme through December.
