The petition aims to reverse the Government’s decision to not allow fans inside stadiums due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Only clubs below National League North and South levels were allowed spectators at their games prior to the second national lockdown.

The last game FC Halifax Town fans were able to watch at The Shay was against Ebbsfleet (pictured) on March 14.
