NATIONAL LEAGUE clubs will be asked on Monday to vote on two proposals – and it is still far from certain whether the National League North season will restart next week as currently planned. National League general manager Mark Ives has told clubs that two separate proposals will be presented to them for voting on Monday – one for the National League clubs, and another for National League North and South clubs. With the huge furore over whether ongoing funding should be in the form of grants or loans – and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport adamant that funding will be as loans – the feeling is that National League North clubs such as Darlington and Spennymoor Town will be asked if they want to end the season.
Hungerford Town chairman Patrick Chambers concerned as league season could be cancelled
The government have announced non-league clubs may have to loan money to continue

HUNGERFORD Town chairman Patrick Chambers has been left frustrated with the way the funding for the National League has been handled.
Clubs across the National League system (Premier, North and South) started their league campaigns in October after receiving £10m in grants from the Government.
But after a number of recent board meetings, it was announced that the next installment of funding would be given out as loans rather than grants.
As a result of the news, the vast majority of clubs opted to suspend the North and South divisions for two weeks in the hope that the issues can be resolved.
