Well, we haven't specifically communicated with supporters up to now, and it's remembering that they are the lifeblood of the game, really important that they know what's going on, so far as anybody knows what's going on, but really just a reminder that they remain in our thoughts.

They're going to be incredibly important when we get back to playing football.

We look forward to playing in full stadiums whenever that might be.

It certainly isn't going to be any time soon, but just reminding supporters that they're in our minds.

Well, clearly the virus is going to decide when we start playing again and nobody knows exactly when that's going to be.

Clearly at the moment there's a lot of uncertainty, there's a lot of unrest, particularly at our level clubs are struggling financially.

Lack of gate receipts is really important to them, lack of owner funding.

A lot of the clubs are reliant on owners putting money in, owners' businesses are struggling, their sponsors very often are local businesses, they're struggling.

so you know it's there are all sorts of complexities and we also of course have a massive variety of clubs from the biggest to the smallest they all face different challenges there's no absolutely no one-size-fits-all solution but you know in a time of uncertainty everybody gets a little bit anxious everybody gets nervous everybody worries about what happens next and it's a really unprecedented situation when

To be blunt, nobody has any answers because nobody knows exactly when we're going to get through this.

It's really serious.

Worried isn't the term I'd use.

It's really, really challenging.

Some of the clubs are certainly on the edge.

Some are not.

Some are better placed.

Clearly, we've provided some upfront funding to clubs to get them through the immediate months.

They're taking advantage of government initiatives.

They're deferring tax.

They are furloughing players and employees.
