[Football] Football postponed if Full National Lockdown?

[LamieRobertson]

What about the Championship and Leagues 1 and 2 where there is no regular testing regime? Presume they will have to stop.

Allowed to continue...comes under the ‘elite’ banner

They have regular testing

They have regular testing

That's the irony - they don't as especially in leagues 1 and 2 many clubs can't afford it and just do it on the odd occasion a player feels unwell as in recent cases involving Grimsby and Orient. This is why the bottom 2 leagues didn't finish last season (other than play off games).

I want all football to continue but why should clubs at this lower level who are not regularly testing their players be allowed to continue when say a small business has to close as being classed as 'non essential'? Technically speaking at that level where there isn't regular testing why are they considered 'essential businesses'?

I can understand the Prem continuing as we know they pay to test their players and stafff twice a week, but it seems there appears to be one rule for a football business and one for the rest of us mere mortals.
