🙌 In a season like no other, our Matchday Safety Officer, Alan Marshall, has never been more important. 💚 The squad wanted to mark his birthday with a token of their appreciation. 👏 Thanks for all that you do, Marsh.

Everything we know about the virus transmission suggests stadiums will be relatively safe. Concourses and toilet facilities pose greater infection risks but these can be mitigated. But big questions remain about how transport will be managed.
Breaking: Up to 10,000 fans will be allowed back into English stadiums in step 3 of the easing of England's coronavirus restrictions which is planned for May 17 at the earliest. That's in time for the final day of the Premier League season on May 23.

Today I set out our next careful steps out of lockdown. This extra clarity is possible only because of our continued progress against the virus - but to achieve these milestones, we must keep driving it down. So please follow all health advice and #StaySafe

The EFL have released 2 excellent final docs in connection with restarting football behind closed doors. Read them. They are well-produced and extremely helpful. fsoa.org.uk/wp-content/uploa… fsoa.org.uk/wp-content/uploa…

There have been reports that Safety Advisory Groups (SAGs) may stop Premier League clubs from playing Behind Closed Doors (BCD) matches at their stadium if they have concerns about fans gathering outside. I am curious about what legal power could be used to stop them. 1/6
