"The League held a board meeting yesterday and decided to vote in favour of declaring the season null and void with immediate effect."

"League bosses are now holding crunch talks with the FA in a bid to get them to ratify the decision - and confirm the remaining positions to decide who is promoted and relegated."

A little bit contradictory, I thought null and void meant "look on it as if it never happened."

Certainly not an easy position for anyone involved, clubs, leagues or the FA and whatever is finally decided there are bound to be some who are not happy.  Personally I think the non-league seasons need to be abandoned asap which would then give clubs clarity in terms of player contracts and where they will be cash-flow wise for the next couple of months rather than keeping them in limbo.

Promotion and relegation is a separate issue and can be dealt with once more is known about what is to happen at PL & EFL level.

Interesting that the Borehamwood statement used the phrase ‘close’ the season, rather than cancel. Or maybe I’m reading too much into it.
