The Premier League unanimously voted to send funds to The National League three months earlier than originally scheduled.

“I am delighted that the relationship between the Premier League and The National League remains so strong,” said Brian Barwick.

“We are very grateful that the Premier League have advanced us monies to be able to distribute to our clubs in the coming days.
