(Reuters) - Football Foundation President Tom Pendry said allowing fans to watch West Ham United's game against Manchester City at a cinema near their home ground while spectators are locked out of the stadium highlights the inconsistency of COVID-19 restrictions.

Premier League matches have been played without fans since June due to the pandemic and plans for the return of limited crowds from this month were postponed amid a rise in the novel coronavirus cases.
