This from the FSA:
Fans can still attend matches in England, but the likelihood of a
return to behind-closed-doors fixtures across the Premier League and
EFL is growing. The Welsh government announced this week
that all sporting fixtures from Boxing Day onwards would be behind
closed doors, while in Scotland the winter break has been brought
forward. Prime
minister Boris Johnson confirmed that no new COVID-related restrictions
would be brought in before Christmas, but fans will be left checking for
updates on fixtures they plan to attend over the busy festive period.Many
supporters had already expressed their frustration at the late
cancellation of games due to COVID-19 outbreaks in matchday squads in
recent weeks, with matches being called off in some cases with as little
as two hours notice, leaving thousands of fans out of pocket.We
appreciate the unique and constantly evolving situation facing clubs
and leagues as a result of the pandemic in ensuring matches go ahead,
and reiterate our stance that the safety of players, staff and
supporters remains paramount during the public health emergency. .While
fans are still permitted in stadiums we urge the Premier League, EFL
and their clubs to do all they can to mitigate the effects that late
cancellations have on supporters, and to be as transparent as possible
in communicating news on potential postponements to fans at the earliest
opportunity.
