To be fair, actually a sensible decision. 1000 fans in Wembley makes no sense, you could probably all lie down to watch the match and still be socially distanced with those numbers. I get that people would be using public transport, but it would be much better if the matches could be delayed until there are proper crowds - even if that's a long way off. Also gives us the possibility of actually beating Harrogate.....

The Premier League have also the government that test events with only 1000 spectators allowed are a waste of time. Where do they get these half-baked ideas from?

EFL Cup started in midweek, yet last year’s final has yet to be played (Pompey sold 42,000 tickets, apparently).

I wonder why Cambridge United were chosen as a test site for fans to be allowed in, given that it’s a tiny ground.

My guess is Cambridge have had low Covid cases ??
