York Place Both Staff And Players On 'Furlough'

York City have placed both staff and players on 'furlough' and in effect closed the club until the National League decides otherwise.

"The sudden onset of the Coronavirus pandemic, uncertainty around the conclusion to the 2019/2020 league and our inability to make plans with any real certainty, has had an immediate, unforeseen financial impact on the club.

"In line with the government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, club staff and players have been placed on furlough until further notice.

"The chairman, who has personally supported the club financially since 2006, paid all wages in full to this point and will ensure that all staff receive 80 per cent of their wage during their time on furlough, irrespective of the government scheme’s upper limit."
