This kind of thing may be seen as a positive by lower league clubs in the short term. They get to reduce their wage bills (maybe offloading some of their higher earners) and bring some cash into the club. Not great in the long term obviously, but a lot of them are just trying to keep their heads above water right now. I see that the govt is preparing a bailout too.
The National League is expected to postpone the start of their season. They were expecting matchday revenues and won't be getting that now.
