Several of you will realise i have a interest in non league football my local side In Particular
This is the latest news step three ( Southern Premier Southern Premier Central Northern Premier isthmian Premier)
And all the leagues below have all agreed that the season should be terminated with the season either null and voided
Or league positions decided by a points per game basis or something very similar
The reason there has been no definite decision is steps 1and 2 (national league national league North and South) are still hoping the season can be completed
If they succeed in completing the season than promotion and relegations will have to be decided rather than null & void

Sympathy with Barrow. |

Sympathy with Barrow. Yes null & void would be the most sensible option but that would take all leagues to agree including the Premiership The only ones I can see gaining out of this are the vultures dressed in lawyers gowns |

It’s over and won’t be returning. The plans now should be to work out the details of the 2020/21 season. It’s unlikely to be able to start in August so wow can it be done? What’s the cut off point to postpone the early games? |

Non league has limited options depending how low you go. most teams have at least 10 games left. you have to look at contracts length, ability to play games in future due to the need to have insurance for players and spectators, who owns the pitches may be the council cant see it being high on their lists to maintain, mark out pitches etc.
However clubs need income and that is the real problem no bar income, admission or other bits and pieces, sponsors who have paid shirt and hoardings packages only now nobody will see them.
Going to be real tough for many to dig themselves out of this. can see the season voided we may see a few changes if clubs go bust but think we need to start again, new season to start in august. Non league does not have a lot of wriggle room as the FA Cup extra preliminary round starts in early august for some teams its there first game of the season and the FA Cup can be a massive revenue stream if you get through a couple of rounds in prize money.
Personally cant wait to get out and support these smaller teams because they are going to really need the community to assist in the survival of theses clubs and would urge anyone to visit just one game at a local club. run by volunteers, football may be below a standard you usually watch but these people do a days work then play football and live the dream!

Excellent post. I started to go to NPL games a few years back and it restored my faith in football and its role in community to a large extent. The standard of play is a lot higher than I think most would appreciate. The cost of entry is affordable, grounds are mostly accessible, free or small cost parking. You feel very close to the game, being able to stand on the touchline was a big plus for me. Its very competitive. You can even have a bit of banter with the linesman/woman if that floats your boat! I fear this will result in a lot of casualties at this level. They will need all the support they can get. |

Sadly I think the ones that are going to find themselves in deep shit are the ones that dont own there own grounds And the ones that invested heavily in a promotion that is unlikely to happen |

Do you know how football history is sub-divided into pre-war and post-war? I wonder if in the future it will be sub-divided into pre-corona and post-corona?

think a lot will change, people may be scarred from this, when it ends how comfortable will you be going to a football ground, train, shop or pub which is full of people will be hard to get your head round after a couple of weeks of social distancing!
hopefully we come out of it as better people and see what we have got on our doorstep and how somethings are important to a community. we hopefully will support the local community shops and facilities and see how important these things are, because this will properly be the first of maybe more situations like this in the near future.
Football as with other sports is only a small thing but unites us gives a common cause. The best event to demonstrate this was the olympics people got sucked in, to be honest walking into the Olympic park for the first time and experiencing the atmosphere is something i will never forget and is the best sporting moment i have ever had.
People come together for sport and long may that continue for every age,social group, creed and affinity it unites like nothing else.

I see the manager of Barrow, the guy who was very vociferous in his stance about having to play one more fixture than the top 4 divisions because "there are more important things in life than football" is now bitching and whining that it is wrong for his team to be denied promotion if the season is voided.  |

Another problem I can see is that if they decide to finish the season off in a short timescale with multiple games per week, many of the players will struggle to get time off work to actually play. Most will obviously not want to rock the boat with their employer at this present time.
