CITY of Liverpool FC have released a statement regarding the termination of the 2019-20 football season at non-league level. 

The announcement covers a wide range of topics including the nature of the situation football, and, most saliently, the country as a whole, now finds itself in.

The club offered support to teams in the region most affected by the expunging of results from the most recent campaign. Those sides included Lower Breck, Vauxhall Motors and 1874 Northwich, who were all set for promotion at the time of abandonment.
