Football: English Football League chief and EPL bosses hail 'lifeline' for virus-hit lower-tier clubs

LONDON - English Football League chairman Rick Parry says the British government's decision to allow fans back into grounds is a"lifeline" for lower-league clubs who have struggled to survive during the coronavirus pandemic.

Parry told the BBC on Tuesday that he was looking forward to getting fans back in more substantial numbers but it was a"welcome start". The EFL is considering moving some of its fixtures scheduled for Dec 1 to the following day in order to get fans in."Some clubs will still have safety officers on furlough, it's taken everyone a bit by surprise," he said.

Colchester chairman Robbie Cowling, whose side play in League Two, said it was vital that fans felt safe when they returned.

Being cancer-stricken and begging CPF Board to repay overdue debt; that which in any case cannot be done as the money had been commingled and funneled to private entity Temasek Holdings for Ho Ching to wager on unviable, untenable and ultimately, invariably doomed gambles
