At last! Fans to be allowed in – in limited numbers

FANS should be allowed in to see their local teams at Step 3 and below in non-league football under post-Covid lockdown guidelines being announced this week.

Clubs below the National League, including Burscough and Skelmersdale United, will be permitted to accommodate a phased and limited return of spectators.

Clubs will have to follow both the Government’s guidelines and new FA guidance which will see spectators restricted to ‘‘discrete six-person gathering limits’’.
