Dagenham & Redbridge, Yeovil Town, Dartford and Notts County have all been given the green light to let supporters through the turnstiles for friendly matches as part of a pilot programme for the safe return of spectators.

Social distancing will be in place at these games.

If successful, it could lead to more National League clubs being allowed to let fans back into stadiums in the upcoming weeks.
