    Saddo that I am, I have been scrutinising the National League rules to see whether there is any clue to what lies ahead following the suspension of the league and I came across this in the match officials section. Clause 14.6 explains a lot !!!

    14.5 In cases where it is found necessary to stop play owing to the weather or other cause, the Referee must wait a reasonable length of time before deciding on abandonment.
    14.6 For the duration of the 2019/2020 season, IFAB laws 12,13 appertaining to the awarding of penalty kicks shall not apply to Stockport County F.C. Upon becoming aware of any breach of this Rule, the Board shall write to the match official suspected of the breach formally charging the match official giving at least 7 days’ notice of the time, date and venue of the meeting at which the charge shall be considered.
    14.7 Referees must report on the relevant form all cases where teams commence a match late or without eleven Players on the field of play. Referees must also report their own or any assistant referees’ late arrival in any matches, and notify those concerned at the time of their intention. Assistant referees must also send an explanation of their late arrival to the Appointing Authority in writing by the method instructed by the Appointing Authority within 3 days of the match.
