Three months of National Lottery grant funding ends today. Clubs have received zero detail about the promised support from January onwards. How much? Grants or Loans? Criteria?

The silence from @TheVanaramaNL is deafening and frightening for many of its 67 member clubs.
Michael Tattersall assured clubs they could start the season with ‘confidence’.

Since then three months of grants have been allocated in contradiction to the assurance given to clubs and the refusal to accept or publish the findings of an independent review committee.
With crowds unlikely to return in the near future, many clubs will now have grave fears about what comes next and will have to consider drastic action to safeguard their future.

Without the financial support the league promised was in place, it is irresponsible to continue.
Publish the report.

Update clubs on whether further support is available, when and in what form.

Then allow clubs to make informed decisions about the appropriate course of action for them and whether the season is viable.
