That represents just over 60% of matches played, with just under three quarters of the season gone.
League chairman Glenn Youngman said: “We have serious concerns about the ability of some of our clubs to complete their league matches, with a significant number of clubs already 8-10 weeks behind schedule at this stage of the season.”
So far this season, 375 games have been re-scheduled – around 220 postponements along with other changes (for example because of clubs’ involvement in cup competitions).

Northern League seek extension to season
.
NORTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE FOUNDED IN 1889 – SECOND OLDEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLDLEAGUE SEEKS EXTENSION TO SEASON
The league has written to the Football Association to request an extension to the season because of the serious concerns about the ability of some clubs to complete their fixtures.
League games have to be played in time for the promotion play-off matches to be completed by Monday, May 6. Our fixtures are currently scheduled to be completed on April 20.
So far this season:
- In Division One, 230 games have been played. By now, 280 matches should have been played, before the weekend there were still 150 fixtures to be completed.
- In Division Two, 290 games have been played, but 320 should have been completed, with 172 games to be played.
That represents just over 60% of matches played, with just under three quarters of the season gone.
