Plans to restrict away followings at Premier League football matches to 1,000 fans and only admit those people who live near the ground have won the backing of supporter groups.
The Premier League is currently in discussion with government about bringing 10,000 supporters back into top tier stadiums before the end of the season.
One of the issues officials are wrestling with is whether to allow away fans, and if so, how to manage the increased risk associated with people potentially travelling large distances.
Football fans have barely been alowed into stadiums since March last year and want to return
A possible solution is to allow away fans, but only sell tickets to those supporters who live in postcode areas close to the stadium where their club is playing.
