Date for your diary if of interest. Hopefully guidance will be changed by date of game to permit supporters.

Come on Peckham! But will spectators be allowed to attend? Peckham Town to take on AFC Cubo in the London Senior Trophy cup final, Fri 28th Aug 2020

I think it's no spectators at the moment but who knows what the government will suggest in their next update for venues.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this mean that we can attend the Peckham final?
Non-league clubs at step three and below can admit fans to grounds
Fans will be allowed to attend football in the seventh tier and below, after updated guidance from the government.

Probably but there are hoops to jump through for the ground owners so watch for confirmation.
Also it's been reported the FA submission to DCMS was levels 3-6 should re-open with a maximum of 16% of normal capacity. I've not seen any comments yet as to whether this is what was signed off today. (The proposal was it would later to rise to 30%.) If lots of local fans / groundhoppers after a competitive game show up, and that 16% rule is in force, it may be an issue. Again, watch for confirmation.

Hopefully most non-league grounds have a "technical" capacity that can be used - agreed by local H&S or Fire regs. Down here, I expect Winchester City could get 2,000 in, safely, if we needed to, (but that's never happened obv) The biggest crowd I've seen was about 750 - 16% of that is 120 - well below our average last season of 164 (!). 16% of 2,000 would be 320. We could get a crowd like that with a decent bit of publicity to live football starved fans.
This could be a real boom for non league clubs like us, given a safe (but sane) policy response, and a decent bit of marketing.
I'm probably being a bit optimistic.

Here's the FA Guidance. If it was a Fisher game on that date it would be 15% of minimum capacity permitted, meaning a maximum of 150 fans
I presume that will apply to this fixture too but.......

We are expecting that it will be open to supporters now - awaiting confirmation from LFA. As you say, it would probably be limited to only 150. I'm not sure how they will be allocated and managed yet, but will endeavour to find out once above is confirmed.
Fisher currently don't have the required permission to admit spectators and are warning it may not be sorted by their FA Cip game on September 1st. Presumably this will cover all matches until the council sign off and not just Fisher.

Having this same problem with the Menace Arena. Published FA version of COVID action plan for the club at end of last month to allow training to restart for all teams. Turned around a 17 page Council version over a weekend and submitted on 10 August. Absolutely nothing back since, despite calls / emails to prompt for feedback.
Spoke to LFA yesterday and they are confident supporters will be able to attend and tickets will go on sale on Wednesday. However, I don't share their confidence given the lack of communication. No idea why Southwark is so much slower than rest of the country.

Venue switched for the Trophy Final on Friday to Cray Valley PM. Southwark Council are dragging their heals on reopening of grounds under their tenure to the public, so switch was made today.
150 tickets will go on sale at 6pm tomorrow (Tuesday). Keep an eye on London FA and Peckham Town social media for ticket link if you are interested in going. I expect players family and friends will take up a lot of these, so may sell out quick.
