Lower league clubs are pushing for the season to be abandoned.

The Daily Mail reports a growing number of Football League clubs are questioning the wisdom of attempting to finish the 2019-20 season.

League One and League Two clubs are increasingly highlighting the problems of ensuring the safety of players and staff even if the lockdown restrictions are eased and the English Football League restarts games.

Andy Holt, owner of League One Accrington, said: "It will cost us half a million pounds to finish this season, if that's what the EFL decide they want to do. I would rather use that money on rebuilding for next season instead of spending three more months now watching it die. If it is a choice for us between playing dead rubber fixtures or surviving, we will be surviving. The main risk for Accrington Stanley is for the EFL to force us to spend money we have not got on games that do not matter to us."
