The familiar refrain of the cricket season but from April onward it's a question that will apply to football too following confirmation from the Football Association that the Non-League season at Steps 3-6 is to be curtailed.
That means a second successive campaign will end in this way but a major difference between now and a year ago is that clubs have been the provisional go-ahead to make a return to action as part of the much-talked about road map announced last week.
So each of the leagues below the National League now have decisions to make as to whether they look to organise some kind of competitive action, such as a mini-league or cup, for their members, some, such as the United Counties League already announcing that they are preparing something along these lines.
It is slightly unclear, as yet, whether supporters will be allowed back to watch grassroots football ahead of their return to bigger grounds at a higher level and there is also the important factor for many of when they will be allowed to open their bars and clubhouses but many clubs are being positive and tentatively penciling in dates to get back on the grass.
