Fan Return Plan Canceled at PL Stadium on October 1st

Football stations in England will not open to fans on October 1st.

The British government's plan to allow 1,000 fans in the facility has been cancelled, news confirmed by the Minister for the Cabinet, Michael Gove.

Covid-19 alert has gone to Level 4 which means that the risk of spreading is high or increasing exponentially, and this has made the decision to cancel the stadium reopening plan for fans.

Most sports events in Britain have been held on closed doors since the show of the coronavirus in March, including Premier League matches, the FA Cup final in football, cricket matches, and 2 Forum 1 competitions in Silverstone.

Meanwhile, leaders of more than 100 sports institutions sent a letter to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson as they asked for an emergency fund, warning him of huge financial losses due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In their letter, directors of sports institutions urged the government to approve a recovery fund so that the sports sector can survive and stabilise. Among the signatories of this letter were the directors of the British Football Federation, Premier League or Rugby's Union.

The letter required a combination of investments, tax cuts, and regulatory reform. In July, the British government approved a 1,57 ml-grad aid package for art, while sports seized 200 million headed funds for emergency cases, and much of it was for sectors thought to be in need.
