I fully recognise that in normal times, fans would cherish the opportunity to travel to Wembley Stadium to support their club’s participation in the FA Vase final, and I understand the disappointment with this not being possible this year. The return of crowds is our priority for all football clubs, and we look forward to being able to welcome back fans to clubs as soon as it is safe to do so.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 29/04/2021 12:29:15 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
