Hide AdIf the proposal is approved then the league will “proceed to a poll” to determine the outcome of the North and South divisions. This will be followed by a vote to determine the outcome of the National League season.
It has also been confirmed that the National League has received £2m from the Premier League to help clubs with the financial difficulties they are facing, but this is money they would have received at the start of the 2020/2021 season and is not extra cash.
Clubs in the National League will receive £58,333 and those in the North and South divisions will get £13,636. The money will be advanced to clubs next week.
The FA Council has now confirmed that steps 3-7 of non-league have been made null and void.
