The Premier League, EFL, The FA, Women's Super League and Women's Championship have written an open letter imploring the Government to allow supporters to return safely to stadiums.
Premier League chief executive, Richard Masters, his EFL counterpart David Baldwin, FA chief executive Mark Bullingham and FA Director of Women's Professional Game Kelly Simmons have all signed the letter which calls for the return of the test-event programme and consistency in Government policy regarding the re-opening of certain venues and events.
It had been hoped successful pilot events would see turnstiles re-open on a limited basis from October 1, but those plans were put on hold in the wake of a national rise in coronavirus cases. ข่าวล่าสุด
National League clubs received an offer of financial aid from the Government to help them start the season last weekend, while a support package for the three divisions below the Premier League remains the subject of ongoing dialogue.
The EFL also called for people on Twitter to sign a petition pleading with the Government to let fans back into stadiums. The tweet was retweeted by several EFL clubs as well as the likes of Fleetwood boss Joey Barton.
The petition surpassed 103,000 signatures just before 9pm on Tuesday, meaning Parliament has to now consider the topic for debate.
The open letter from the governing bodies states that fans should be allowed to return after 11 recent successful test events and says clubs "are considering measures both in the stadium and on the approach that will allay any concerns as to fans' safety", with plans in place for spectators inside the ground and travelling to the venues.
