Now all they've got to do is sort out promotions and relegations: if and who!

i think,as the season is not over we start next season with the same teams.It would be wrong if Kings Lynne got promoted as we could have still won this league.

It’s clear that no play offs or any live football will be able to be played for some months safely, even behind closed doors. Given no one can come up from below to our level (ie Blyth Spartans will get away with it) then I think the ‘least worst’ thing to do would be to null & void the entire season to be fair & consistent for the whole league. Harsh as this may seem, I don’t think Kings Lynn or York could be confident of winning the title, both had been stuttering for a number of weeks. We start next season (whenever that is and whatever form it takes) with exactly the same sides as we did this.

Focus now from the footballing perspective at least is for all of us to do what we can to support the club financially & ensure we have a football club to come back to. You’d have to assume a few clubs will go to the wall during this prolonged period of inactivity.

Whilst I would like to see play offs etc, believe the season will be expunged.

Focus on next season, whenever that maybe...

I wonder what the club will do about partially used season tickets etc?

From reading over clubs, they've offered refunds but most fans have told them to keep it.

Potentially puts cashflow at risk as if our Season runs Jan-July cash has to run a lot further with no income.

Hopefully we don't end up in No Man's land where we end up being the only league(s) not playing with those above and below still getting a game.

Other clubs may cherry pick players from us leaving us to start again.

If the National League North aren't playing I cant  see the leagues either side playing
