Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

So just regards people in stadiums, is the plan for stadiums to be full by the time the Euro's start?
Culture secretary Oliver Dowden has said the government is looking into whether crowds of more than 10,000 will be able to attend matches at this summer’s rescheduled European Championship.

From 17 May stadiums could be permitted to host as many as 10,000 fans, while from 21 June the current plan is for restrictions to be lifted completely. Pilot events will explore how spectators can return safely in large numbers to stadiums.

The rescheduled Euros, which is due to be played across the continent including at Wembley and the Millennium Stadium, begins on 11 June.
Dowden, secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport, told Sky Sports News: “For the later matches in the tournament, we’ll be looking at substantially more than [10,000], but that is subject to finding a safe way of doing that. I’m very hopeful and optimistic that we will get many, many more people in for the later stage games.”
 

Do you know when it started?
The origin of football substitutes goes back to at least the early 1860s as part of English public school football games.

Oh look, we invented something else.


The number of substitutes usable in a competitive match has increased from zero—meaning teams were reduced if players' injuries could not allow them to play on—to one (plus another for an injured goalkeeper) in 1958; to two out of a possible five in 1988. With the later increases in substitutions allowed, the number of potential substitute players increased to seven.[16] The number of substitutes increased to two plus one (injured goalkeeper) in 1994,[17] to three in 1995;[18][19] and most recently to a fourth substitute in certain competitions (starting from UEFA Euro 2016) in extra time
