About £150,000 per club. But how will it be shared out? Per lost spectator, or a flat amount dependent on league? Will keep us going for a month or two, but hopefully we can get some fans back in soon, supplemented by livestream money.

Don't the National League suffer from Premier League syndrome? In other words, won't they nab £9m for themselves and give the other £1m to be divided between NLN and NLS? And then tell us to be grateful!

Should be based on average crowds as this is why money is being made available. Not to subsidise rich owners.

Won't it be the rich owners who have votes though? Not holding my breath...

Although the NL will decide how the money is allocated the government have the final say. Oliver's tweet this morning seemed pretty confident it would be shared out based on average attendances.

Great news. Hopefully that plus yesterday’s win will give everyone at the club a welcome boost after Tuesday night’s disappointment
Also great for other clubs. Clearly the ‘elite status’ thing is an absolute farce. To allow a Ryman Prem club to have their usual 400 or whatever fans in, and then refuse the same for clubs in our league with similar attendances, is barmy. The need for a bailout could have been completely avoided by allowing clubs to have perhaps a quarter of capacity plus live video feeds for those who still can’t get in. Clubs would still be down on revenue but it would be survivable with some belt-tightening.
Clubs at lower levels need to ensure fans don’t let the side down. Watching Stones TV highlights from Tuesday you could see many Wimborne fans weren’t wearing masks. If they’re not careful fans at all levels will be banned

At this moment in time some of the clubs from step 3-7 are enjoying bumper crowds as football starved fans, like myself, are visiting clubs just to see live football. I was at Fisher v Tun Wells yesterday and I saw a lot of well known Millwall faces in the crowd taking advantage of a local game. I think the attendance capacity was set at 300 and they came close I think to achieving that and I am sure in normal times it would have been way down on that. Having said that I would say there were 100+Wells supporters there.

Watching Stones TV highlights from Tuesday you could see many Wimborne fans weren’t wearing masks. If they’re not careful fans at all levels will be banned I totally agree Jayser. I have been banging on about this on this forum for weeks now about allowing at least 600 into our national league grounds. I have written to the tax payers alliance, Helen grant and Tracey crouch about the ludicrousness of all of this where smaller and hence possibly less safer grounds allow 600 and we can’t allow the same 600. I now know that the lotteries commission are helping with the 10 £million but at the end of the day the government had missed the opportunity of a lot a VAT revenue that would normally be taken from increased gate receipts/executive boxes and general expenditure within the ground (food/drink etc). At the end of the day it will be the tax payer who has to pay for Covid (and Brexit, but that is for another thread!). Also I commented on the Chichester fans/club officials complete disregard Of social distancing of live on TV football to the far wider audience.

Should be based soley on lost attendance - that's the thing that's causing the loss of income, after all.
But, while I'm at it, can someone explain to me why I couldn't go and watch Stones at JWW yesterday, but I can go and watch them next Saturday? Same club, same stadium, same risk, even some of the same players!

And another thing...
In yesterday's programme, Bill goes on about playing two games a week for most of the season, but between now and Xmas, I've only got two mid-week games listed - 12 games in 10 weeks.
Are there fixtures I don't know about??
