next weekend, the national league is due to start. ne step down from the football league and the majority of clubs there say they can't survive without supporters. in the last hour, the national league board says all their member need a financial rescue package from the government to help them make ends meet. joe lynskey reports. we need to rescue package. we need the government to step in. it's hard when you see people that you spend so when you see people that you spend so much time with, it's feeling like it's disappearing. if you take away the football club, that's weekends gonna stop you will give us some support so that these clubs are still here, so that we are still here. it's english football's difficult balancing act, where non—league clubs need fans through the doors, how to keep them going through a pandemic. cheering for national league season was due to start next weekend, the same date football had hoped to bring some fa ns football had hoped to bring some fans back. but new restrictions mean the crowds are now on hold,

fans will be allowed but not the fans of the national league teams. ise that have basically got to make sure that only the home fans this has caused a bit of incredulity across sections of the non—league fraternity. one of the clubs in position, put out a tweet this afternoon saying... because their current affairs understands the difference between step two and step three fans, they are going to have to not to allow their fans into the game. it was a bit of sarcasm there summing up what many cubs are feeling in a very complicated situation. thanks for simon to try to clear that up for us. just a few more football lines to update you with today. macclesfield town have been expelled from the national league, 13 days after they were wound up by the high court. the club had been due to begin their season against bromley on saturday. liverpool's thiago alcantara has tested positive for covid—19 and is self—isolating. thiago was signed for £20 million from bayern munich made his debut in the side's 2—0 win at chelsea last week. ryan fraser and ryan porteous

so, that game kicks off at 7:45pm tonight along with six other nations league fixtures.ngland's group are belgium and iceland, who're also in action. follow all the results on the bbc sport website and app. no fans at any of those games, of course, as is the case when the premier league gets under way this weekend. some good news — all fixtures will be televised live this month. this is how it'll look. sky and bt had selected 17 games each for the first three rounds of the new season. of the remaining 11, sky will show six, bt sport three, and the bbc and amazon prime will broadcast one each. leicester's home game against burnley on the 20th will be free to air on the bbc. the premier league says it's "considering appropriate arrangements" for matches in october. good news for most, but the chair of the all parliamentary group on football thinks fans should have been told sooner. there are supporters of clubs up and down the length of the country who are premier league supporters who are premier league supporters who are wanting to know if they will be able to see their

national league, there‘s jobs at sta ke.cotland, there is recognition across the board that supporters are key to the health of the game. here‘s the celtic manager, neil lennon. we haven‘t got a crystal ball, we can‘t predict when supporters are going to come pick in the stadiums. i think we should endeavour to try and push on, even though restrictions are being tightened, it sounds contradictory, but where would you rather watch a football game, and an open—air venue or indoors? i think the opener is far safer and you have less chance of catching anything. edouard mendy‘s transfer to chelsea has been confirmed. the goalkeeper has joined from french side rennes on a five—year deal for a fee rising to £20 million. the senegal international is frank lampard‘s seventh signing in this transfer window and he‘ll provide compettion for kepa arriza balaga, whose form has been patchy. the formula one world champion lewis hamilton has set up a group in his own name to improve diversity in motorsport. the hamilton commission‘s 14 membe

we have been set to run in the national league but clearly now it is very unlikely we will play in thegue this season now coming up and i think probably will have to start way down the pyramid as other clubs have done over the past 20 years. as you mentioned, the next steps for yourself is it to begin completely back again from fa rd begin completely back again from fard on the pyramid?” begin completely back again from fard on the pyramid? i think there is an appetite for that for people. people have wanted this on her to go for a long time and he has not wanted to let go. he had the chance la st wanted to let go. he had the chance last season to sell to joe seeley, who came in with an offer which the owner was not convinced by. not quite sure why but that is a question not for me to answer. there is appetite from people like joe and others who have been involved at the board level over the past few years, so board level over the past few years, so potentially things will be announced over the next few days and plans are afoot to make the club phoenix and rise again. thank you very mu

in the national league, itsjobs are over 3000 people employed in the national league, its jobs at stakel follow macclesfield out of existence? you think some clubs will follow macclesfield out of existence ?|j don't like to think about it that way, mike. it is such a part of the community. maybe it is inevitable from what people are telling me, that it may well be the case, but let's try not to think like that. let's think positive. what you need is some hollywood actors to come and step in. like what is happening at wrexham. well, one of the teams that chesterfield will play this season — if the national league starts of course — is wrexham, and they could be in line for a hollywood takeover. a warning that there is some flash photography coming up. the club have confirmed that movie star ryan reynolds is interested in investing money, alongside the american tv actor rob mcelhenney. the welsh side have been fan owned since 2011, and any potential takeover could mean £2 million being invested. the actors will put forward their vision for the club at a special general meeting. i've had s

here in the national league, there has been even more anxiety.yers, it is everyone around the football club, the local communities, it brings everyone together and, you know, that is what makes football so special. you take that away, you know, it is going to have such a detrimental effect. tonight, the national league received assurance from the government over a last—ditch support grant which should ensure that the season starts this weekend, but even at this level, the supporters that such clubs rely on will be missing. steeped in history, stockport county has been part of this community since 1883. but the new season will begin without any fans here. a major blow to both the club, but also the local economy. nearby businesses who used to benefit from match days are bracing themselves for further losses. it is a loss to everybody, because you've got the community, you've got the cafes and everything where people go and eat and drink and everything, so it is a big blow to us all. unlike other sports, football has been told it is rich enough to

the 18—year—old's been included for the nations league matches against iceland and denmark having impressed manchester united — where having started the season as a youth player, he finished as a first team regular. you can be called any time and i was called to some year of league games earlier this season. i took my chance really, i'd just been playing and just took everything as a game. i've just been out there playing my football it's a dream come true. i've been playing for england it's on privileged and honoured to as well. i'm just happy to be... i'm just happy arsenal have announced the signing of centre back gabriel from french side lille, the player features in a quirky social media video released by the club alongside fellow brazilians david luiz and willian. the 22—year—old's signed a long term deal at the emirates after completing a £23

southgate about his international future, after he was sent off in their 1—0 win over iceland in the nations leaguehe was given a second yellow card for a reckless lunging tackle, which he admitted was rash and unacceptable. he'd been out of the side for over a year and with younger players coming into the frame, he knows this could be the end of his england career. southgate was clearly unhappy with walker, saying you just can't make challenges like that. we all have to learn from that moment any day came, that incident, because we have gone out of tune as before because we have been down to ten men, and that is not a situation that we have had in the four years i have been in charge, though the response to it from the rest of the tea m response to it from the rest of the team was good. but of course it booted is in a really difficult situation, and also we lose him now for the game on tuesday as well.

they both made their senior international debuts in the 1—0 victiory in rejkjavic in the nations leaguethe weekend, but won't be involved against denmark tomorrow. southgate says he's still working his way through the facts before he decides any further action against both players. they have been naive. we have dealt with it appropriately. i think everything from there on, i recognise that age, but the whole world a re recognise that age, but the whole world are dealing with this pandemic and there is responsibility in every age group to make sure that they play their part in keeping a java safe. u nfortu nately for play their part in keeping a java safe. unfortunately for the two boys that are going to find themselves in this situation because of where we are across the globe with a pandemic, where they will be a lot ofjudgment of pandemic, where they will be a lot of judgment of them pandemic, where they will be a lot ofjudgment of them from afar. so it is not for me to make that more
