The Premier League has contacted clubs to get their views on allowing up to 500 away fans at matches in the final two rounds of the season, the PA news agency understands. Under the current Government plans, which are scheduled for a final review on May 10, up to 10,000 supporters could be permitted into football grounds from May 17. However no supporters have been able to attend any Premier League matches since the country went into its second lockdown in December, and away fans have not been in attendance all season. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters (Mike Egerton/PA)Richard Masters, the Premier League’s chief executive, has written to clubs for their opinions on the possibility of including up to 500 away fans within the permitted 10,000. “That being the case, the executive proposes an away-ticket allocation of five per cent of available capacity (a maximum of 500 away fans) at round 37 and 38 matches, respecting the £30 away-ticket price cap.”
