Labour want to see Tory plan for fans’ safe return
A view of the London Stadium

LABOUR has demanded the government issues mass testing for transport workers immediately as football fans return to stadiums for the first time in nine months.

Tier 2 areas were allowed up to 2,000 spectators at games from last night, with tonight’s Europa League tie at Arsenal’s Ashburton Grove Stadium expecting to host the aforementioned amount.

This weekend will see five Premier League games this weekend taking place in Tier 2 areas, three in London alone over the course of 48 hours.
