    When will this happen in England?

    Watching a pre season friendly on Fox Sports 1.

    Almere City v FC Groningen. The return of Arjen Robben. He played the first 30 to gently ease back in.

    Stadium has a capacity of 4500. Average crowds are around 1500.

    Here's the thing....... there are supporters, fans, in the ground watching the game. Only a few hundred, granted, but they are there.

    You have to start somewhere and, IMO, pre season jobs are the perfect chance to try out CV precautions.

    250 in each of the North and South. 500 in each of East and West Lower and the same in the upper stands. 2500 for a friendly against lowly opposition. Great test and educational for everybody concerned..... which means it aint gonna happen.

    Missed opportunity IMO.

    We're allowing spectators back to matches below the 7th tier.

    If the ELF Middlesbro and Barnsley get their wishes we will be in 7th tier soon
