September Start For National North?

It emerged yesterday that the National League are hopeful that football might restart in September.

Whilst this will be welcome by spectators, much of the detail as to how clubs will 'run' fixtures remains to be worked out.

It's reported clubs will have to have a Covid-19 officer and then there's the potential problem of any 'distance' rules that may still apply.

In a stadium such as at Edgar Street, supporters may have to sit, for example, with an empty seat between them. 

Selling tickets 'on the door' may also prove difficult because of possible queues. 

It's even been suggested that each club may have a limit put on the number of spectators at games.

There's a lot to plan before football can return at National League Level. Much will depend on whatever rules the Government decide to put in place.
