Vital 1st Team Regular
Yes, apparently it's been allowed by the Southern League and they will be allowed to take their place up again next season (all being well!). One club, Blackfield & Langley, had already voluntarily dropped out the league during the summer so it doesn't mean an odd number of clubs in the division.
This action by the club came before today's lockdown (which was anticipated) as Welsh Government rules meant that unlike other clubs at the same level (eg Grantham) they wouldn't be allowed to have spectators in the ground and the loss of income from playing behind closed doors for an indefinite period couldn't be sustained.
Apart from the player-manager none of the players were under contract so they've been allowed to find other clubs.
Guernsey are in a similar position. The regulations on the Island regarding having to quarantine, and lack of flights to/from Gatwick, make it impossible, and the Isthmian League are supporting a gap year for them (Not sure what will happen to Jersey, who play at a lower level)
