Premier League targets full stadiums next season

The Premier League has welcomed the British government’s announcement on the easing of lockdown restrictions amid the Covid-19 pandemic and Chief Executive Richard Masters said on Monday it is their priority to have full stadiums next season.
The government said in February that under the third stage of its four-stage “roadmap”, stadiums would – if all conditions are met – from May 17 be allowed to hold up to 50 percent of their capacity, or 4,000 people, whichever is lower.
A special provision will be made for large outdoor, seated venues, so that they can open their doors to up to 10,000 people or 25 percent of the capacity, whichever is lower.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed on Monday the roadmap would progress as planned.
“It’ll be brilliant to see fans back. They’ve been hugely missed and the Premier League hasn’t been the same without them. Their presence will ensure a fantastic finale to the end of our season,” Masters said.
