Concern among National League clubs over funding for rest of the season

According to reports, clubs in the National League are yet to be told what cash will be made available to them to cover costs for the reaminder of the season after an initial £10m grant to cover the first three months came to an end.

It has been reported there is particular unease among clubs around hints that any future funding made available to them may be in the form of loans rather than grants.

According to BBC Sport, most clubs think that would be unacceptable given they would not have agreed to start the season behind closed doors had they known it involved taking on further financial obligations.
