National League season cancelled after vote

THE National League has announced that all remaining league matches will be cancelled amid the coronavirus crisis, with clubs now having to vote on how best to decide the season.

The National League, National League North and National League South were suspended on March 16, having controversially played a round of fixtures after the suspension of the Premier League and English Football League.

With no immediate end in sight to the Covid-19 pandemic and non-league football feeling the pinch, the 68 clubs have been voting on whether to end the league season.
