The Southern Counties East League are doing their bit to help clubs through the challenging months ahead.

Those with charter standard status won’t have to pay their usual annual subscription, which is usually £250.

Every little bit will help as clubs come to terms with no more football until the summer, after the FA agreed to end all competitions below the National League.

A statement from the league, which are forgoing thousands in revenue, said: “We are mindful that clubs may well face a difficult few months ahead and have come up with a couple of initiatives to save money to assist our clubs where we can.

“One of these, which we are pleased to announce, is that annual subscriptions for the 2020/21 season will be reduced to just £50. Our annual £50 discount for charter standard clubs will still apply, which means that most of our teams will not pay any annual subscription.

“The directors are currently working on other measures regarding discipline and registrations. Further details will be announced to clubs in due course.

“The directors send our best wishes to everyone connected with the league during this uncertain time.”

The termination of the league means no promotion or relegation this season.

Beckenham Town are top of the Premier Division and their chairman has spoken of his disappointment with the Football Association.

The Southern Counties East League have also scrapped their Challenge Cup competition, which was at the semi-final stage.

The statement added: "In line with league fixtures not resuming, the remaining Challenge Cup matches will also not take place for 2019/20.

"In addition, annual awards such as golden boot and the remaining manager of the month awards will not be made.

"Therefore, it will come as no surprise, especially in the current uncertainty, that there will be no annual luncheon this year."
