Preparations for the the return of football at our level are underway with the phased return is that permission has been granted by the FA to allow clubs to participate in pre-season warm up games.

These games are to be held under strict adherence with current government regulations relating to Covid-19.

Below is the statement that the FA released:

“ As it remains, until further notice all games with NLS clubs including pre-season friendlies must remain behind closed doors. This is not an FA position, but a Government position. “

As a club we request that fans adhere to this guidance and do not attend or attempt to attend to any football games until further notice.

We are desperate for a return to 'normal' but anyone who ignores the Government instructions supporters could jeopardise the re-start of football.

We thank you for your co-operation.

On behalf of the board of Barnton FC
