The restriction on fans being allowed at oudor sporting events will be lifted when the country comes out of lockdown.
Under new rules to be announced by Boris Johnson later today, spectator sports outdoors will be allowed fans in stadiums in Tier 1 and Tier 2 areas.
A maximum of 4,000 fans or 50 per cent stadium occupancy – whichever number is smaller, will be allowed at outdoor events in the lowest-risk areas when the national lockdown in England ends on 2nd December and up to 2,000 fans will be allowed in tier two areas.
Fans in areas that remain in tier 3 will still not be able to watch their teams live.
Indoors, there will be a limit of 1,000 in both Tiers 1 and 2.
