No, it's only 4000, we are not classed as one of the 'largest' stadiums so the 25%/4000 rule applies, whichever is less, either way it's total nonsense.
Testing, temperature checks and all the other nonsense will no doubt be enforced despite it not being lawful, and it's May 17th at the very EARLIEST, the data even when it's clear is manipulated and fudged by government so they can do what they like and spread more lies/disinformation. Don't be surprised if this date is extended.
Come June covid certification (to supposedly reduce restrictions) is likely to be brought about which MIGHT lift some capacity restrictions, however certification and exclusion on basis of some form of bio status is already unlawful and remains so as per the European Council's decree to reconfirm that just recently.
Worse, no removal of muzzle wearing 'rules' :despite the evidence that muzzles don't do squat CRAZY:
RL clubs are basically stuffed even if they get a few punters through the door for half the season and the World Cup is going to lose a lot of money unless something drastic happens between now and then. I wouldn't be surprised if we are back to full on tiers/lockdown on the back of tests that can't detect infection used to produce huge number of 'cases' that are being falsely labelled as infections and from that falsely attributed deaths with covid like all of last year.
Good luck to the clubs, I hope that those fans that get in really get served up some excellent rugby to lift them and that our team do the business results wise.
