Coalville Town chairman Glyn Rennocks says it is 'brilliant news' that the club will be allowed to welcome back some supporters to home games next season.

The FA Guidelines for return of spectators.

The Southern League Premier Central club have released details of how fans can see matches at Owen Street on their official Website.

Football was suspended last March due to the coronavirus outbreak.

And the Ravens chairman says it would have been 'impossible' for clubs at that level to have played without admitting supporters.

He said: "It's fabulous news, brilliant news because I wouldn't know one club at our level who couldn't play competitive football without fans.

"By that I mean the financial support.

"It would've been impossible. There's a lot of hard work still to go into it.

"It's not as simple as opening the gates and letting people in.

"But, Wayne McDermott who's our secretary, and his wife Sam, have put a tremendous amount of work in behind the scenes.

"We're lucky they've given us a bit of a head start, but there's still work to do in terms of getting fans in for first team games and the bar going again. The finer points we'll have to look at.

"But our ground capacity is just under 2,000 and our average is around 250, so we have plenty of space to be able to let people distance. We're confident we can do it.

"It'll be good to get people back in and get the supporters back involved again."
