Notes: The last issue opened with an overview of the Coronavirus crisis and the effect it
was having on the world and on the sport we love. Since then we have seen a gradual
easing of restrictions, but for those that like visiting football grounds things are still a
long way from normal. It seems likely that ’behind closed doors’ will be with us at some
levels for a while yet and we should be prepared for a much different experience when
grounds eventually become a little more accessible. Picking up on the feeling of being
‘locked out’, from page 3 we take a look at grounds from the outside.
