Allow supporters in to matches in the First Round of the Emirates Cup

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Work with the FA to at least allow at the very least, home supporters of non-elite clubs in to watch their Emirates FA Cup matches. Clubs were previously allowed 15-20% of their max capacity, ensuring they followed strict COVID-19 protocols.

Fan have been allowed for the last 5 rounds, why now is it any different?

Non league clubs will be left to fund a number of expenses out of their own pocket without the income of supporters attending matches. Whether it be ticket sales, food & drink, programme or merchandise.

These are vital funds which the clubs are in desperate need for. Some clubs, simply won’t be able to afford it.

Why have the FA changed their tune? It needs to be changed.
