Grassroots sport is also coming back - which will bring a sigh of relief from those involved in non-league football and other local adult and junior sport. Sussex has four 'elite' football teams - Brighton of the Premier League, Crawley of League Two, Eastbourne Borough of National League South and Lewes, of the FA Women's Championship. Up to 2,000 fans will be allowed in tier two areas but no fans will be allowed in tier three. Numbers permitted will be less at smaller grounds - with 50 per cent of the capacity the maximum allowed. For example Eastbourne's Priory Lane ground has a capacity of around 4,150 - meaning they will be allowed 2,075 fans if Sussex remains in tier one.
