Basically no actual decisions, but unlikely any Champ or L1 clubs playing until next March
The Championship and League 1 clubs are contemplating a return to league action in March – almost a year since clubs were last in league action. A meeting of clubs took place on Wednesday where discussions regarding the season’s restart were held. In theory, the season would restart week commencing March 1st. Current projections suggest fans would be allowed in from April 1st and a delayed restart would limit the number of fixtures played without fans in stadiums. Inevitably, the developments relating to Covid-19 will have a great bearing on the eventual start date. A relaxation of rules regarding supporters in stadiums would likely see the season pushed forward once again. But there remains a strong reluctance to return to the field without fans being in attendance. As such, starting the season later, rather than earlier, is currently more likely. The only challenge with a delayed start is completing a season before the World Cup, which is due to start on October 24th. Several Championship players were selected for various countries in the 2017 event. Talks are set to continue in the coming weeks.

As for York gambling on getting bums on seats, is that not the same for any club? Difference with York is they now have an ideal stadium with excellent training facilities. Big test for them would be if they had to go full time
