Football without fans

[Bear60]

"Football without fans is nothing". A famous quote attributed to legendary Celtic manager Jock Stein. It's a slightly abridged version of the full quote, which reads: "Without fans who pay at the turnstile, football is nothing." Either way, Jock Stein's the one who said it.

So 2000 fans can be admitted to a football match if the area is in the correct tier level.

Why is this figure a one size fits all? Surely Spurs’ stadium which holds 60000 can accommodate more fans than Millwall which holds 20000.

Is there any logic to how this figure has come about rather than say a percentage of the actual stadium capacity? Or is it just a policy plucked out of thin air which no thought process gone into it?

The question is how can it be a fair league when some clubs in tier 2 can have fans at home games and others in tier 3 can’t have any. Surely that’s an unfair advantage.
