A non league football fan has launched a survey asking players, supporters, match officials and managers for their thoughts on the return of grassroots football.

Ian Nockolds, presenter of the Toolstation Western League Podcast, is also Research Director at Bath based Market Research company Cognisant Research, and has developed a survey designed to understand how the football family will cope with the restrictions likely to be imposed on non-league clubs, if the 2020/21 season is allowed to start.??Ian explains, "The Leagues at Steps 5 and 6 have been invited to a meeting with the FA on Friday, June 19th. Ahead of that meeting I’d like to ask fans what they think about the return of football and the restrictions they might need to accept to watch a game this year.??Whilst the FA consults with the Leagues and they have their own way of engaging with their Clubs, this survey is about developing a body of opinion that demonstrates what the football family is thinking. ??I’m hoping we’ll have enough responses to give Clubs, Leagues and the FA, an idea what the football family is thinking. You never know, consultation like this might even catch on”!??The Restarting Grassroots Football Survey can be accessed here . The survey will remain open until June 17th, when results will be posted on this blog.
