It was a busy few days with English Football League sides in action, lots of travelling supporters attending fixtures up and down the country.
Following the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, supporters can return to grounds in full numbers for the first time in almost 18 months.
EFL chief executive, Trevor Birch said: “It was great to see full crowds return to EFL stadia across the country this weekend, and we must thank each and every one of those fans for not only their attendance but also their patience and commitment throughout what has been an extremely challenging period over the last 18 months.
“To see the range of emotions on the faces of supporters and hear the fantastic noise from the stands is something we have all dearly missed and those fans who were not able to travel to the away game, will get the chance to attend a home game and experience the thrill of live football once again this weekend.
“The past few days have demonstrated that fans were ready to return, football was ready to welcome them back and long may that continue.”
