    The NL have shown no leadership here. Why are they asking the clubs what they want to do when it's obvious that clubs with nothing to play for/fighting relegation will opt to end the season?
    They should have waited to see what the EFL are planning to do then made an informed decision. It's also a huge kick in the teeth for the fans who have paid hundreds of pounds to follow their clubs for a load of glorified friendlies. Very unhappy with this decision.

    The problem now is we cant start again until fans are allowed back into grounds as you cant play BCD with no money coming in.

    As if you void it now then what is going to change by August/Sept that is something that needs answering and i'd like to know how clubs are going to stay afloat.

    Of all the seasons in which we could have got relegated into non-league, we picked the worst possible year.

    I agree, but as we are back to ground zero, as it where, shouldn't only one team be relegated (Yeovil) at the start of the new season because of the Bury situation?

    I suppose it depends on how the league have communicated to clubs about whether relegation/promotion will happen and how. 9 games is a lot of points. Clubs in mid table would still have harboured hopes of snatching a play off spot, which if look at the table there were a number of clubs that could have put a run together. I read somewhere recently that only 4 clubs voted to keep the season going. Everyone assumes it’s those at the top but how many get relegated? So if the league are thinking of calling it a day, using current positions/PPG to determine finishing positions, the bottom 4 would vote against it.

    Clutching at straws I know.

    I was hoping that they would see the season out behind closed doors but that's now been taken away. With testing surely that could have been possible , I just wanted something to look forward to.

    I know what you mean, but I don't think we should be 'wasting' testing on footballers, or other sportsmen/women at present.

    Play offs could still be behind closed doors. Income from BT sport coverage where they charge X amount on a pay per view basis, some going towards the teams involved. To be honest the money doesn’t bother me, it’s the chance to go up that is more important. I wonder what the Brothers think?

    That’s not the only issue. Think about the fury if a footballer breaks a leg and takes up an NHS bed
