But hang on
The Northerners have split themselves
However, in view of the number of requests, the Northern Premier League board has taken the decision to permit clubs who are in agreement to play their league fixtures on Saturday 19th December with a 3pm KO. Should there be any adverse changes affecting our Steps 3 – 4 as a result of any announcements made on Wednesday, we will advise you accordingly.
“Otherwise, we will look to resume the published league fixture schedule from Saturday 26th December for all clubs. This decision is that of the board of the Northern Premier League.”
