Championship clubs will face 'financial Armageddon' if football shuts supporters out again, warns Millwall chief Steve Kavanagh

Millwall chief executive Steve Kavanagh has warned a return to football played behind closed doors would be 'financial Armageddon' for Championship clubs after further stringent coronavirus regulations were announced by the Welsh and Scottish Governments on Tuesday.

All sporting events in Wales will be held without crowds from Boxing Day due to the surge in Covid-19 cases, while First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said a maximum of 500 spectators can attend sporting fixtures in Scotland from December 26.

Sky Bet Championship clubs Swansea and Cardiff have been immediately affected by the development.
