The EFL have told all clubs NOT to return to training until May 16 at the earliest but have pledged to gives sides adequate time to prepare for a resumption of the current campaign.
No further break is envisaged at the end of the current season so its presumed that season 2020/21 will commence at the end of the current season.
For me this puts into question as to whether those grounds that undertake an annual reseeding will have time for the new grass to grow....
Also what happens about the annual team reconstruction that a lot of clubs go through during as normal close season period....
I still prefer that the current season is declared null and void with promotion from the National League only going ahead to make up the shortfall in numbers in the EFL.
