Saturday evening's announcement of a new national lockdown in England looks set to herald an enforced a four-week break for the non-league game below the National League.
Confirmation hasn't come through at the time of writing but the guidance all points to any sport below 'elite' level being suspended.
With schedules already tight, and many games already falling foul of Covid-19 guidelines, the worst-case scenario of another season that doesn't end will now be entering people's thoughts.
But leagues up and down the country are better prepared than back in March and have been able to at least discuss the various scenarios that could be thrown up.
To have had the football that we have had since September has been a blessing in many ways, a genuine morale-booster such that a televised Premier League game could never replicate.
Clubs have suddenly had to become experts in online ticketing, one-way systems and track and trace apps and hopefully all that hard work will not go to waste.
