Resolution to National League season could be decided next week

Clubs have been told to expect a formal resolution on Monday, although details on about what options will be voted on and how it will work are still unclear.

It comes after the National League board held a meeting (today) and Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston wrote to all clubs inviting them to a meeting to ask questions about the current funding situation.

Clubs are unhappy after they were told the £11m to cover costs from January to March will be in the form of loans, something which has been deemed unacceptable by a majority of clubs in National League North and South.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has said grants can be applied for in extreme circumstances and that no club “will be allowed to go to the wall”.

The National League is continuing but the North and South divisions have paused their seasons for two weeks amid the continuing uncertainty.
