NPL Suspension of Fixtures

As expected the NPL has suspended all fixtures for the foreseeable future. Real fans of non league football need to consider how they can support their local non league teams in the meantime. Things will get better but we need to ensure that ALL local football survives the present situation. Any ideas?

Coronavirus: Official Statement by the Northern Premier League

The Northern Premier League has today decided, reluctantly, to suspend all fixtures until further notice in light of the escalating Covid-19 outbreak. The League would like to congratulate the players, officials, volunteers and fans of clubs able to stage games at the weekend and notes the excellent attendances at those fixtures. Whilst the primary responsibility of the League is to the financial sustainability of its member clubs, the number of clubs reporting players or officials in self-isolation has now reached a point at which continuing to play games would severely undermine the integrity of the competition. In consultation with the partners Eliteform, all NPL Football Academy fixtures have also been suspended until further notice. The NPL is well aware that clubs and fans need clarity around whether the 2019/20 season is to be suspended temporarily or permanently, and the full implications of either eventuality. The NPL will be working with the other Alliance Leagues and the Football Association, to assess the various options and to agree a way forward. As soon as we are able to, we will share that information with member clubs and their supporters.
