Away Fans in the Stands – 7th August 2021

Fans are finally back through the turnstiles and in the stands for the first time in over a year for some. Here’s a look at some of the photos of away fans at Championship fixtures…

Spectators of the 72 EFL clubs are again welcomed back to grounds without restrictions for the first time since March 2020; to stand or sit in their regular spot, next to someone else whether a mate, family or stranger, wearing those lucky pants or scarves and meet again with pals in cafes and pubs.

You can’t beat the unique excitement of a new, fresh, full of hope and optimism with those in love with the beautiful game asking themselves ‘will it be our year?’.

However for many, there will be mixed emotions. We now live in a very different world because of Covid, and some fans are set to return without old friends, without family members, without trusty companions.

EFL day of events across the 72 clubs to welcome supporters back:

– Oxford United manager, Karl Robinson, welcoming fans who work for the NHS
– Sheffield United captain, Billy Sharp meeting the Rainbow Blades and Senior Blades supporters groups
– Rotherham United manager Paul Warne and captain Richard Wood meeting fans from their Disabled Supporters’ Association
– Ipswich Town manager, Paul Cook and chief executive Mark Ashton surprising a young fan who has Crohn’s disease
– Reading manager, Veljko Paunovic, signing up the first Young Royal of the summer.
– Rochdale manager, Robbie Stockdale, and captain, Eoghan O’Connell, meeting fans from the likes of Military Veterans, Walking Footballers, Fit Dale and Dale Ladies.
