• Eastleigh’s Ben Strevens says games should have been cancelled
• Karren Brady wants season voided if matches cannot be played
The Eastleigh manager, Ben Strevens, has accused the National League of greed, saying there was “no way whatsoever” matches should have gone ahead given the coronavirus pandemic.
The non-league competition announced on Friday that games in their three divisions would proceed as planned – meaning that, with the Premier League, EFL and leagues across the continent suspended, yesterday’s game between Notts County and Eastleigh inadvertently became the biggest in England.
