Greg Clarke FA Chairman has commented on what he thinks about fans returning to the watch matches.
Greg said it will be hard to see the die hard fans returning to watch matches “any time soon”.
Reports suggest that If the Premier League & Football League resume matches will be played behind closed doors.
Premier League are also preparing for the possibility of playing the 2020-21 season without fans.
In a letter to the FA governing council Greg said
“The reality is that we just don’t know how things are going to pan out,
“But with social distancing in place for some time to come we do face substantial changes to the whole football ecosystem.
“For example it’s hard to foresee crowds of fans – who are the lifeblood of the game – returning to matches any time soon.”
Clarke said the FA’s executive team has been “building out different scenarios that we might potentially face as a result of the pandemic.”
He also warned a budget cut of £75m will be “sensible” this year.
“In a worst-case scenario, this would be necessary for the next four years to offset a £300m deficit,” he added.
“Clearly that will impact many of our plans as every area of the game will be touched and projects that we all value will be affected.”
