The world is sometimes unfair. While jumping at the top of its division with 27 matches and … 27 victories, the English amateur club of Jersey Bulls FC will not know the honors of a promotion which seemed to it promised.
“Putting health first”
The Federation has decided to cancel all amateur championships due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Even if we are talking here “only” of a team that evolves at the 9th level, in the first division of the Combined Counties Football League, a regional championship, the pill must still be hard to swallow. “It’s hard to digest,” said Vice Captain Luke Campbell to Sky Sports. For the moment, with all that is happening, football must remain behind. Putting everyone’s health and safety first. ”
“There has been a lot of investment. Not only players but also management, supporters, sponsors, he continued. Looks like we did the whole season for nothing. I would have preferred to finish. Perhaps the FA made the decision a little too early. Perhaps they could have waited a few weeks or a month to see how the situation developed. But these are things that we cannot control. “
Prayers of the Reds
The case of the modest Jersey Bulls FC club also echoes the situation of another English club, much less modest this one: Liverpool. In search of a title they have been waiting for 30 years, the Reds are 25 points (and one more game) ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League rankings. At nine meetings at the end of the fiscal year, that is to say that the mass is said. However, Jürgen Klopp’s men must pray every day since the championship was suspended due to the coronavirus.
The forced break is currently running until April 30, but no one can really say if the season will end. Otherwise, we dare not imagine the frustration of the Anfield club and its supporters.
