Each Step 2 side is due to get £13,636 next week.

The National League recommends that clubs vote for the season to end straight away.

If that is agreed then the Step 2 clubs will be polled on the outcome of the divisions. After that the Step 1 clubs will then be polled. We don't yet know what options the clubs will have. Not sure what happens if Step 2 clubs vote for one thing and the Step 1 clubs vote for another but there we go.

The FA Confirmed that Steps 3-7 have been declared null and void which will mean no promotion into our league and surely no relegation either.

Correct, the £13,636 is next season payment paid early. The issue clubs will have next season is we have to buy Jako kit, numbers, bibs, balls etc etc... normally the league deduct the Jako payments from this money... so next season we'll be expected to pay a Jako bill direct. This money is not a good news story.

I also voted today on our league.

No one is saying it is a good news story Alex. I was just stating the amount which in the grand scheme of things is pretty small anyway. I can't imagine that amount goes very far.

According to yesterday's press only £2mn (out of £125mn) found its way to the National Leagues. Based on what we got that suggests 30% went to the two regional leagues and 70% to the National League (c£58000+ per club). Either way it's a drop in the ocean and shows how unconcerned the majority of EPL are about helping to sustain grassroots football.

That's how the money always gets distributed though so nothing new there. It will be interesting to see if any more money comes Non-League's way.
