'We ask for consistency so sport is treated as fairly as other activities': Premier League keep pressure on UK Government by releasing open letter calling for fans' return to stadiums in wake of arts and music venues being allowed to bring spectators back

The Premier League has called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the rest of Government to show consistency in decisions made over spectators at public events.

The arts sector were moved to stage four by the Government in August, which allowed reduced, socially distanced crowds permitted indoors and outdoors at events.

While the Premier League, in an open letter to supporters on Tuesday, acknowledged that is a positive step forward amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the English top-flight has urged for more consistency with crowds being kept away from elite-level football despite a series of successful test events last month.
