Sky Sports: “ Away Football Fans No Next Season “

Sat Aug 22, 2020 1:58 pm

Sky Sports l:

Premier League are hopeful that they will be able to get 30% Capacity in their home stadiums in October.

But the Premier League Clubs are also of the opinion that NO away fans will be attending matches next season as they want to be able to serve the demand for their limited home capacities and their season ticket holders .

Also expected similar to happen in the Championship.

Outlook for attending next summers Euro's must already be bleak. Still hoping to avoid going to Azerbaijan but will be devastated if its cancelled altogether.

Makes sense no away fans considering the reduced capacity .... but looks like footy taking brunt of lockdown longer than most businesses! Administration is beckoning for lots of clubs I fear. ;)

What about designated away pub for away fans who enjoy a day out as much as watching the game nothing like an away day out with your mates fromantic all areas of South Wales following Cardiff City

Until all home fans can be accommodated inside a stadium then I cant see any away fans at all.

It may be possible to have some away fans at some grounds with a large capacity and small home attendance (MK Dons springs to mind), but travel to and from the game also needs to be considered.
