Attendances

As with the end to the previous season, the season has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in games being played behind closed doors. However, on 19 September 2020, two matches in the division, between Norwich City & Preston North End at Carrow Road, and between Middlesbrough & Bournemouth at The Riverside Stadium, were held in front of 1,000 spectators, as part of EFL pilots.[6]

This was seen as the beginning of fans gradually returning, but a rapid rise of cases from the end of September (eventually resulting in a second nationwide lockdown in November), led to plans being put on hold.[7] With the second nationwide lockdown ending on 2 December 2020, it was announced England would return to its previous three tier system, with clubs in Tier 2 allowed to host a maximum of 2,000 spectators. [8] The first of these matches took place on 2 December 2020 itself, although the matches of Luton Town & Wycombe Wanderers were capped at 1,000 spectators, as they had not previously held an EFL pilot event.[9] On Saturday 5 December 2020, Reading, Millwall, Watford, Norwich City & Brentford all hosted matches in front of the maximum allotted 2,000 spectators permitted, with fans in attendance at Brentford Community Stadium for the very first time.[2]

However, it was then announced that from Wednesday 16 December 2020, that London, parts of Essex and parts of Hertfordshire, would move up to Tier 3, the highest tier of restrictions in England, meaning football clubs in these areas, (for The EFL Championship: Brentford, Millwall, Queens Park Rangers & Watford), would revert to playing behind closed doors without fans, due to a rise in coronavirus cases, following a tier review.[10]

It was then announced that from Saturday 19 December 2020, that Bedfordshire, Berkshire & Buckinghamshire would also move into Tier 3, meaning for The EFL Championship that Luton Town, Reading & Wycombe Wanderers would also revert to playing behind closed doors without fans again, as of this date. Conversely, Bristol City, who had previously been unable to host fans, will now be able to allow fans back in, with Bristol being downgraded from Tier 3 to Tier 2.[11]As of these updated restrictions, it now means that only Bournemouth, Bristol City & Norwich City's stadiums will be open to host fans in The EFL Championship.[12]This was reversed on Wednesday 23 December 2020, with Bournemouth now the sole team in the division eligible to host fans.[13][14]A week later, on Wednesday 30 December 2020, Tier 2 was removed in England, with mainland England in either Tiers 3 or 4, meaning once again, no clubs could host fans for the foreseeable future.[15]
