Football fans have warned that plans to exclude supporters who are not fully vaccinated against coronavirus from attending Premier League matches from October could cause “chaos” at some clubs. The use of vaccine passports could also be extended to lower divisions and other sports in England as ministers seek to reduce the surge of Covid-19 cases as other restrictions are ended. “There will certainly be some football supporters for whom this will be an incentive, who are desperate to get back in the ground and watch their teams. “To insist on vaccine passports less than a month before the start of the season will cause major disruptions, especially for clubs at the lower end of the pyramid,” she added. The English Football League declined to comment, but it is understood contingency plans have been under discussion in case the Government advised the use of vaccine passports.
