Jersey Football Association ask island's government to increase outdoor sport gathering numbers

Jersey's Football Association has written to the island's government asking them to increase the number of people who can attend an outdoor sporting event.

Currently the maximum number you can have is 35 which is putting strain on some sports.

Jersey's Jackson's Premiership season resumes tonight (March 9th) but because of the current rules the JFA are only able to provide one match official meaning clubs may have to use their substitutes as linesmen.

These views are echoed by Jersey Sport. They would also like to see the numbers increased before they're scheduled to next month.
