    The National League will ask for a £17 million lifeline to save the 68 clubs that make up the top two steps of England’s non-League system.

    Non-league clubs, who describe themselves as “hand-to-mouth businesses”, are facing an unprecedented cash crisis after the coronavirus pandemic suspended the National League last weekend.

    With salaries and taxes due to be paid next week and little prospect of football before most players’ contracts end on 3 May, many clubs are already struggling to make ends meet.
