The readers of League Express have indicated that they would be happy to return to watching live Rugby League matches right from the start of the season, which begins towards the end of next month.
In a weekly poll, our readers were asked: When would you feel confident about attending Rugby League matches in 2021, in light of the Covid pandemic.
The readers were given six alternative possibilities, which included not attending any matches, and the answer was perhaps surprisingly bullish, with more than 50% indicating that they would attend right from the start of the season, if they could, while only slightly over 10% said that, because of the pandemic, they would not attend Rugby League matches under any circumstances.
Here are the answers, with the proportions voting in each case.
