Premier League and EFL matches are suspended until April 4 though no statement has been made regarding National League matches, with an emergency meeting set to take place on Friday afternoon.

As it stands, the match is still due to go ahead as clubs, players and fans alike await a decision from the National League.

And Pools player Gavan Holohan took to Twitter to express his frustration with the situation.

He stated: “So can we turn our bus around now or are National league players going to be used as guinea pigs until end of season to see how bad we deteriorate?”

Club president Jeff Stelling responded: “Incredible Gav. They still say they are going ahead!”
