Businesses need customers, If we go into another lockdown and given the numbers on the increase it's quite possible we'll have another lockdown and those businesses will be out of business.
Most of the smaller clubs have small wage bills, but that will add up each week to a fair amount if you have no income coming in, off the top of my head i can only think of councils helping them by reducing their rates bill,but catch 22 is councils are also being hit hard with cutbacks.
No easy answer, clubs need players but players are the main source of all their outgoings,pay the players off then you can't play football. Sad to see what's happening.
