Police are supporting Nottingham Forest in asking supporters to stay away from games and tune in to all remaining matches from home as the Reds face Huddersfield at the City Ground.
In a statement released on Nottingham Forest Football Club’s website, the club said: “The EFL have a proud history of developing innovative new ways to attract supporters through the turnstiles, but the message has been reversed in line with football’s return on a behind closed doors basis with the safety of fans, club personnel and the frontline services the principle priority.
“Supporters are now being asked to maintain social distancing guidelines and avoid congregating outside stadiums as part of a new campaign message: ‘When we play, please stay away’ with EFL matches returning on a behind closed doors basis.
“All EFL matches are available to view from home, with matches being made available through coverage on Sky Sports or iFollow streaming services.”
The game against Huddersfield will be shown on Sky Sports at 2.15pm on Sunday (June 28).
Superintendent Claire Rukas, who leads Nottinghamshire Police’s Football Unit, added: “As the country continues its response to the pandemic, we are working closely with Nottingham Forest to ensure matches and the community around the City Ground are safe when the club hosts Huddersfield this Sunday.
"Anyone with any concerns should contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101 or in an emergency, dial 999.”
