Arsenal are planning to allow fans back into the Emirates Stadium for the Premier League game against Sheffield United on October 3.
Arsenal might have dropped an hint on when we could expect fans in the Premier League.
The North London side announced towards the end of August their intentions to have fans at the Emirates soon enough.
The new season will resume without fans but it could all change in a short while.
Last week saw a test event for the partial returns of fans in England. Brighton welcomed 2,524 supporters in their 1-1 friendly draw against Chelsea on Saturday.
In the event of no complications, Arsenal announced in detail their plan to welcome back fans at the Emirates in a month’s time.
A statement on the club’s website said: “Although our home fixture against West Ham United on Sunday 20 September will be played behind closed doors, based on the current UK Government guidelines, we hope to be able to welcome supporters back to Emirates Stadium on a reduced capacity basis from the Sheffield United game scheduled for Saturday 3 October.
“While we finalise the details surrounding our reduced capacity matches, we want to update you on our plans to welcome you back to Emirates Stadium safely. In devising an agile plan for the season ahead, we are focused on maximising the number of supporters able to safely attend matches at Emirates Stadium and providing fair and equitable access to the limited tickets available for all season ticket holders.
“The capacity at Emirates Stadium will initially be much reduced due to UK Government guidelines, Premier League directives and our responsibility to apply appropriate social distancing measures to ensure our fans can return as safely as possible.”
The statement from Arsenal could also mean other clubs would be allowed to do the same in their respective stadiums.
