Mark Harris is such a good speaker.  He explains things so clearly and is always worth listening to. 

Sixty plus views of this post shows how keen supporters are to watch their favourites play again. We all can’t wait for it to be safe to resume watching live football both home and away.

"The FA would like to provide an update in relation to the recent survey sent to clubs at Steps 3 to 6 of the National League System. Submissions were made by 99.1% of clubs at Steps 3 and 4 and 95.8% of clubs at Steps 5 and 6. The FA would like to thank the clubs for submitting their views and the time taken in providing responses at what we appreciate it an incredibly challenging time for everyone. The FA’s Alliance & Leagues Committees now have a large amount of data and information to consider before determining a proposed way forward. Ultimately any proposal made by the committees will be put to FA Council for consideration. FA Council will then make any final decision on a way forward. The Alliance and Leagues Committees recognise the desire for clubs to be updated whilst these issues are being carefully considered. Therefore, both Committees commit to providing updates to Leagues and Clubs as the process progresses; and remain mindful of the difficulties faced by clubs at present.
Further information will follow in due course."


It's 8 days since the Step 4 Alliance and League committees made the above statement saying they were committed to providing updates to Leagues and clubs. If there have been any updates, they haven't been passed on to supporters who are keen to know what is the immediate future.


Meanwhile in the National League, clubs presently have the option of continuing playing or not and many clubs have made their views public.  Some clubs want the season declared null and void while others want to keep playing. Interestingly Billericay Town said they will play on but will only use non-contract players so that their contracted players can continue to be furloughed.
