Sport for Business Perspective
There is always a sense of excitement at the start of a new season and each set of fans will have high hopes. The return of fans to stadia will be a major element as well as the engagement with fans that we have seen this week with the launch of the Bank of Ireland backed Healthy Football League and a possible revisit to last year’s winning Common Goal initiative
