Maybe it's not all over.  The Hellenic League have suggested that the 2020-21 results so far be carried over to the 2021-22 season.



Survey from The FA on progressing this Season.
As previously advised FA have now created a survey to be sent to all National League System (NLS) Clubs on how to end / progress this season. Coincidentally, this communication was received earlier today and follows on from this Hellenic League update. Each club is required to answer.

The League Hellenic Executive position on progressing this season
One of the primary objectives of The Hellenic League Executive is to see the proposed Restructuring take place and with this in mind, support the position already expressed by many of our NLS clubs. That is a desire to play the season to completion by following a summer break and restart in August / September.

This plan takes advantage of all of the effort made by our clubs and volunteers in playing our games to date in a Covid safe environment, and will offer the best chance of achieving a complete League Table. This in turn makes The FA restructuring at Steps 5&6 possible. Our Premier Division clubs then will finally see the end of the 200+ miles travel every other Saturday/Bank Holiday.

If we were simply to start again afresh in August we could be in this same position again next year, with no re-structuring to smaller footprint, with the escalating cost of travel, and struggles for player commitment. All in the background of reducing sponsorship.
