BRADFORD district's grassroots clubs have received a little update on the future of their campaigns'.
Earlier this month, league committees at Steps 3-6 met to discuss the data which was collected from the recent surveys clubs completed on what they would like to see happen to the 2020-21 season.
But with the Government set to outline their 'roadmap out of lockdown' on February 22, the National League System (NLS) have decided any decisions will not be determined until after that date.
It provides a bit of clarity for the likes of Thackley, Liversedge, Silsden and Steeton, although they will be keen to learn answers soon rather than later when that date does pass.
The statement read: "The NLS team wish to provide the following update to clubs in relation to the potential continuation or curtailment of the 2020/21 season at Steps 3 to 6 of the NLS.
"The Alliance Committee (Steps 3 & 4) and Leagues Committee (Steps 5 & 6) met on February 8 and 9, respectively, to discuss the data that was collated following the recent surveys circulated to clubs at this level of the game.
"During discussions, the committees acknowledged the likelihood that the Prime Minister will set out a ‘roadmap’ to the nation on February 22 as to how Government intend to begin to reduce the current Covid-19 restrictions.
"Given that any such update from the Government on February 22 may provide the committees with additional, relevant information to help determine the preferred route forward, they have agreed to reconvene after this date.
"In addition, the Alliance Committee are also conscious of the ongoing process the National League (Steps 1 and 2) are undertaking and the potential impact this could have on any actions the committee may choose to take.
"There will be an update provided in due course."
