The Championship side host Bournemouth at 3pm (BST) on Saturday and 1,000 fans will be allowed to attend the game at The Riverside in line with the government's pilot scheme to phase the return of supporters.

The hope is that more fans will be allowed to attend games from October. An initial test event was held at Cambridge United last week.
