Cheers Ed a pal just txt me sayin Liverpool and Manchester is rampant with C.V. still so I guess that’s out the window.

challenge rates falling and lowest r rate in the country in the north west so definitely in tier 3. No fans for us.

Cheers.

Where does the league stand on this Ed?

Based on what Boris is saying in theory certain teams in the league could gain a significantly greater home advantage (I appreciate 4000 fans isn’t a lot but still) based solely on what tier the local authority is in.

Does that not alter the sporting integrity of the competition a little where there won’t be a level playing field?

I am thinking more about that relegation teams where slight advantages can make huge differences.

{Ed002's Note - It has not been discussed in that sort of detail as the stupidity of doing it was unexpected. There will be a hastily arranged discussion later this week. There will be a fear that for certain clubs, the fans won’t behave and will gather en Masse outside of the grounds- that has to be a consideration. I doubt “advantage” will be a discussion point.}

From what I've read, Liverpool are likely to be in Tier 2, which means up to 2,000 fans may be allowed in.
Tier 1 is up to 4,000 fans may be allowed in.

Once the situation clears further, I will assume that there will be incremental steps, to allow larger numbers of fans back into stadia. I would speculate that Football may be the guinea pig for fans returning to matches.

I also assume that away fans will not be a allowed to travel.
