Cash out on mine (double the stake given the significant fall in the odds) was available before tonight's games, I was tempted but am hanging on in the hope common sense will prevail over the funding.

Was that because last season was concluded after a fashion.
Surely if this season is null and void, it would be a different matter

I think you're right, now it appears it's up to individual clubs to make an application to be a special case which of course ignores they play in a league. It's also hardly a vote of confidence by the Government in the league.

Whereas the report I read said it was clearly a loan from day 1 so no special case.
There are a million clubs who need funding, why should the national league get special treatment over rugby, athletics, hockey, etc..?

Any chance that this is why it has been done ? For example, Boreham Wood shouldn't get another penny - they have zero chance of pleading a special case already having had several multiples of what they were entitled to had the initial grant been distributed fairly.

Yes, which report is that ? Further reading of what I can find makes no clear statement of whether it was to be a grant or a loan. In which case to just assume that it would be a grant may not have been the smartest thing to do.

Thats how I see it. The league management committee have a duty of care to their membership and therefore should have advised clubs at the outset of this possibility assuming they were professional enough to study the deal. If there was the slightest doubt, clarification should have been sort.
However the bloke who would have been held accountable has all ready departed the sinking ship due to the distribution of funds fiasco, well fiasco for some.
A vote of no confidence in the management committee req'd!!!!
Yorkshire is Yorkshire
Never the twain shall meet.
Again

I doubt there is such a report which would contradict government noises at the time which answers your question (see post #80 on this thread)

This seems to be the original government announcement at the time. https://www.gov.uk/g...orts-in-england
It does refer to loans. The funding, which will be largely composed of loans, is the most generous of any Government for its domestic sport sector in the world, and will focus on sports severely impacted over the winter.
Have too many people in key roles merely scan read the announcement rather than look at the detail?

This the 19th November announcement though which is not day 1

I suppose because it said "largely of loans" they assumed this was referring to the other sports within the announcement
