  • Fans will be able to return to football grounds from December 2 as Prime Minister Boris Johnson prepared to confirm new coronavirus measures on Monday.

Premier league and Football League matches have been behind closed doors since the outbreak of the virus in the UK in March.

Only supporters from areas with Tier 1 and Tier 2 restrictions will be able to attend however, as those based in Tier 3 zones will continue to be shut out.

There will also be significant guidelines in place for stadiums when they reopen.

Clubs will only be allowed to welcome either 50 per cent of their capacity back into their stadium, or a maximum of 4,000 people – whichever number is smaller.
Clubs in Tier 2 areas are able to hold a maximum of 2,000 fans.

But of the Premier League sides, only Brighton and Southampton – both of whom are in Tier 1 – will be given the green light to reach their maximum.
Inside, social distancing guidelines will need to be adhered to as well, in accordance with similar restrictions in place at theatres and concert halls.

Test events have already been held by some clubs successfully in the summer.
The news is a welcome boost to clubs, particularly those in the lower divisions, who rely heavily on gate receipts as a main source of income.

Johnson’s announcement comes on the same day a side at the top end laid bare the impact the pandemic has had on their finances.
