Premier League will be getting twitchy with this now. It seems a long way off full stadiums currently.

Can't see any fans until at least November, and then putting back if nothing improves.
The campaign to televise all games will be strengthened.
Lower league clubs currently trying to sell a limited amount of season tickets for roughly 30% of their capacity will be hit, and the fans who were sold and October return will just get iFollow passes. With furlough ending and the possibility of still no fans, there are likely to be several go under without some rescue package by the PL or UK Gov.
Rebates so far by the PL and the China deal being terminated could cost each club £25.5m this financial year, and City have probably lost around £21m matchday income so far as well so far. Not a killer compared to signings, but I doubt any increase in solidarity payments are on the table to help smaller clubs.

Except for a minor alteration (social bubbles no greater than 6) theatre plans to reopen are unaffected. Not sure why the changes would materially affect football stadium plans on that basis.

Its bollocks isn't it , start letting people back into enclosed theaters yet not doing the same for mainly open air football grounds.
But then again I expect the twats running the country go to theaters more then football !

From what has been confirmed to league secretaries some test events will still happen in Sept but with further reduced capacities (1000 max mentioned)
Hopefully no issues happen.

There will be no capacity crowds at football till the vaccine arrives and there is mass uptake.
100%.
Don't see it happening till next season start at the earliest....
That's assuming there are no issues with vaccine development, as there is currently - the Oxford vaccine has had to halt because of a pretty terrifying potential side effect in a participant. Quite worrying if caused by the vaccine but then again what this patient is reported to have is also a recognised but rare side effect of the flu vaccine also. Welcome to the new normal ladies and gentlemen.

UK has options on several vaccines. One of them is the Pfizer vaccine which is expected to release their phase 3 results by the end of October.There will be no capacity crowds at football till the vaccine arrives and there is mass uptake.

Fans going to football this year IMO isn't going to happen, I don't know the answer to this it looks like there are two options.
Suck it up and go full on and accept the consequences.
Shut it all down again and wait for a vaccine.
