Premier League fans WANT Covid passes to secure full stadiums

Premier League football fans and supporters’ groups have given their backing to the use of covid passes to secure full capacity at stadiums next season.

And they want the government to hurry up and approve the scheme so clubs and fans can prepare for matches that begin on August 13, only seven weeks away.

The passes, which demonstrate a person has had two vaccinations, a recent negative test or natural immunity against the virus, are being used in a series of pilot events this summer.

And the football authorities and government anticipate they will still be required after the delayed Freedom Day on July 19, when Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to lift many restrictions.
