What’s the latest news as regards when paying spectators might be allowed inside the ground for WAFC fixtures?
Have variously heard Saturday 5th September 2020 but also not until early October (which doesn’t augur so well if the NPL season is scheduled to start on Saturday 19th September 2020).
Still awaiting confirmation.
