Fans back at the Etihad

[Eds]

Not sure if there is another thread about this but Boris just announced that he hopes spectators will be allowed to return to football stadia from the middle of October. Not sure if that means limited capacity or full grounds. Looks like certain clubs will lose out on another chunk of match day income moving into next season. Given that Karren Brady said the other week it was hoped we would be back at the beginning of the season I guess that clubs are now hastily rewriting their 2020/21 budgets

so that's us at home to Dippers behind closed doors in September, the return game at the end of the season with a full house at Anfield.

Let’s hope this stays true or even better bought forward. Cannot wait for that first game back

Can’t wait.

I can't imagine that it would be full capacity straight away.

Not sure why Boris is talking about October. He needs to see what happens in August and September first

Limited number in for the fa cup final 1/8?

There won't be anything bar some nebulous guidance and the FA/PL will have to make its own mind up.

Same with pubs reopening and showing sport.

The 1st August pilot is the Football Association Challenge Cup Final at the new Empire Stadium I believe.
