| Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits he has been left confused by the pilot scheme allowing fans into grounds this weekend |
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder says he cannot understand how English Football League (EFL) clubs can welcome some fans back this weekend given the COVID-19 restrictions in Britain.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the latest guidance on social gatherings in England last week following a spike in novel coronavirus infections, saying that groups of more than six people would be banned from meeting.
The EFL said on Wednesday select clubs would be allowed to admit up to 1,000 fans at this weekendโs games as part of a pilot scheme.
โI just donโt know where weโre at with it all, Iโve got to say. I havenโt got a clue,โ Wilder told a news conference ahead of Thursdayโs League Cup second-round match at Premier League rivals Burnley.
โAm I allowed to see my nan? Am I allowed to see my mum? But then we can have 1,000 people in a ground but canโt have 15,000 and then I canโt go and have a pint with my mates unless thereโs only six of us.
โSo Iโve got to say Iโm like the majority of the people in this country, havenโt got a clue whatโs going off.โ
