The possibility of next month’s All-Ireland finals being played in front of crowds has not yet been ruled out. However, Nphet remain concerned about the spread of Covid among fans congregating before and after matches. Yesterday, the UK government gave the go-ahead for fans to return to sports events from December 2. A maximum of 4,000 fans will be permitted into stadiums if they are in a region where coronavirus restrictions are at tier 1. However, no supporters will be permitted in tier 3 areas.
