How has the war affected the league’s operation?

  • Disruption to match attendances and other aspects

  • All matches are played behind closed doors

  • The season has been postponed indefinitely

  • A new league has been formed

Answer

The war significantly disrupted the Football League’s operations. Attendances declined due to travel restrictions and fears for personal safety, decreasing gate receipts. The suspension and cancellations of matches, especially those involving London-based teams due to the capital being a prime target for German air raids, further impacted the league's ability to generate revenue.
