We have this lunchtime received the following update from the Southern League regarding any restart of the 2020/1 season. The statement reads:

"Following the Government's announcement on Tier allocations and what implications those Tiers have, for you information the League has 16 Clubs in Tier 3, 65 in Tier 2 and 1 in Tier 1.

"The morning the League's board met for an emergency meeting to discuss the implications of the aforementioned and what course of action would possibly need to be taken in the best interests of clubs and the competition.

"There are two further meetings taking place today, along with a further meeting on Saturday involving the FA and leagues and therefore the League anticipates that it will be in a position to make a definitive statement early next week in respect to whether or not the season will be able to re-start as planned."

As soon as we receive anything further from the League we will post an update.
