    1,000 supporters allowed in to watch Surrey v Middlesex today,in first experiment of allowing fans back into sports stadiums.

    Let's hope it goes well and before long we've got fans back in at Oakwell

    Why don't the FA switch the Cup final to the Oval. The 1st ever cup final was played there with about 1000 spectators watching. Then nostalgia could be what it it used to be, just for once.

    Maybe because they are playing cricket on it?

    Like it makes a difference for county cricket, spectators have been more than socially distancing at those games for years!

    I'm surprised they managed to find 1,000 spectators for a County game. I don't know how the clubs manage financially. County game caters for the retired and rich.
