Guess it depends on what tier Cheshire ends up in as well.The elite leagues are talking about 50% of capacity up to a max of 2000/4000 depending on the tier.
Potentially then the 300 cap we have might be lifted.

While I agree with your sentiments in principle, I think you are underestimating the task the NWCFL fixture Secretary would have to undertake. Give some clubs groundshare it would be difficult to arrange Tier 2 v Tier 2 club fixtures as an interim measure (was that the sort of solution you had in mind?) and add to that we have the usual weather issues which traditionally bring postponements at this time of year.Can understand the league restart being put back but we are allowed to play and tier 2 clubs can have fans, so we should be trying to work round that and get started again ASAP.
I think any “funding” was likely to one of loans rather than handouts. At this level, with the likely precarious financial situation some clubs might find themselves in, loans are not the generous gesture of support the FA/Government would like to think they are.If nothing changes with the tiers and with the prospect of these restrictions and lockdowns in place for months to come, questions do have to be asked of how the season can be finished as we don’t went another null and void situation. If playing behind closed doors was feasible for a short time for some clubs to try and get games in, then maybe that’s something worth considering, especially if there’s some form of funding? I suppose we also have until June to get games played which gives us more time.

Agree that loans aren’t the way forward.I read somewhere that fixtures couldn’t be reversed. Anyone confirm?
Loans, whatever the substance are not the solution for struggling Tier 3 clubs - as i’m sure you’ll agree, it’s almost akin to a payday loan scenario, no good can come of it.
With regard to the Tier 2/ Tier 3 split - not sure, but suffice to say, there must be enough of a split to give the league some concern?
Yes possibly (without checking). We’ll have to see. Fingers crossed things pan out okay.Probably more of an issue with Division 1 North & South though?
