The limitations are not just due to the overall capacity of the ground, but also the size of concourses.
Precautions are being put in place all around the site and spectators must be able to pass each other at a safe distance.
There must be enough entrances and exits, as well as enough space when in the stands watching the action.

The ballot remains open until 12pm on September 21, with e-tickets to follow for those who are successful.
There will also be 150 tickets available from the club’s ticket office for those who do not receive one in the ballot, available from 9am on September 24.
