The Gunners are planning to allow
fans back into the Emirates Stadium for their Premier League clash against
Sheffield United on October 3. The number of fans to be in attendance will be
at a reduced capacity based on the government directives.
To solve the problem of how many
would be in attendance, Arsenal are planning to introduce a ballot system that
will determine which of the club’s season ticket holders would be allowed to
attend the fixture.
In a statement released by the club
on their website, they said, “Although our home fixture against West Ham 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 for 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 maximizing 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.”
