What the petition asks
Allow supporters to return to elite stadiums in a socially distanced manner which has been proved it can be done throughout stadiums in Europe
Sports fans haven't been in Elite stadiums since March, the proposed return of fans on October 1st has been 'paused' meaning the playing of Elite Sport behind closed doors will cause hundred of clubs across the country financial hardship. Every time pilot events get organised they get pushed back or crowd limits lowered. British sports fans haven't been given a chance to prove they can social distance within Stadiums.This has been proved in the rest of Europe it can be done
