Return of fans to English stadiums on hold: UK PM

Socially distanced fans watch from the stands during the pre-season friendly football match between Brighton and Hove Albion and Chelsea.LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that the planned phased return of spectators to sports venues in England was on hold due to a sharp rise in coronavirus cases.

But Johnson set out a range of tough new restrictions for England designed to limit the spread of Covid-19. "So we will not be able to do this from October 1 and I recognise the implications for our sports clubs which are the life and soul of our communities, and... the Chancellor and the Culture Secretary are working urgently on what we can do now to support them."It is a devastating blow to sports clubs, many of whom rely heavily on match-day revenue for survival, and there have already been calls from governing bodies for the government to provide emergency funding.
