2019–20 Northern Premier League – Wikipedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2019–20 season was the 52nd season of the Northern Premier League. After one season, the two divisions of Division One were re-aligned from West and East to North West and South East.
The League announced on 8 July 2019 that the new sponsors for 2019–20 were BetVictor.[1]
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this season’s competition was formally abandoned on 26 March 2020, with all results from the season being expunged, and no promotion or relegation taking place to, from, or within the competition.[2] On 30 March 2020, sixty-six non-league clubs sent an open letter to the Football Association requesting that they reconsider their decision.[3] A legal appeal against the decision, funded by South Shields, was dismissed in June 2020.[4]
