DJ explained we had to complete a return of some sort which I imagine requested our match day revenue
I heard it was purely gate receipts tbh and that some clubs have submitted some interesting figures

Southport - £23k per month
Bradford PA - £60k in total
Farsley Celtic - £600k in total

In due course it would be good to hear what this actually means for us from the Club. In the meantime where did you get those figures, as clearly they are edging towards potential fraud!

Second hand from someone who spoke to NLN secretary at game yesterday. Said it was based on attendances.

Suggestion that clubs who had historically reported lower attendances will be worse off.

The Farsley one was weird and makes me think it was a typo or a misunderstanding of the question!

Gloucester will be worse hit having played in front of 350 at Evesham for 2 years but have now sold 500 season tickets for return to games in Gloucester

NL, NLN & NLS have managed to start the season but already several games called off due to players with Covid. Can see it is going to be a very stop / start affair which could even see the season not completing on time. Hope HMG scheme is flexible enough to allow for this.

It's only due to run to the new year (3 months) at the moment then will need to be reviewed depending on circumstances.

Liverpool & Manchester United's plan to reduce the Premier League by 2 & redistribute TV cash to the pyramid is a step in the right direction. As a small addition to their proposal, can I suggest that the 2 clubs to be relegated are Liverpool & Manchester United?

"On the basis that the way the PL is run is controlled by the 9 longest serving teams in the division"...which basically means the top 5 decide everything as they would have the majority vote in that structure.

There is zero chance of this season being completed. Absolutely none.

And that's not being negative, that's being realistic.

Not wrong there, hardly democratic & almost a cartel of elite clubs deciding what is best for themselves. Our national game has fallen into the hands of foreign owners who are purely motivated by money & don't care for fans or tradition.

Remember to be careful what you wish for. London FA have taken capacity down to 15% this corresponds with what Northumbria have done.

They are only in tier 1. If the north west did similar (given potential tier 3 situation) Bury AFC are going to be down to 150 max capacity and no bar or hospitality. It will basically work out at 300-£400 a week to get by on it would suspense me if their wage structure supports that.
