AFC Fylde have joined the Fylde coast’s other professional football clubs in calling a halt to action, meaning the sport's shutdown due to coronavirus is complete. The semi-professional competition includes Blackpool non-league sides Squires Gate and AFC Blackpool. The West Lancashire League, which features six Fylde coast clubs in its top three divisions, called off all Saturday’s games and those scheduled for midweek. The Blackpool and Fylde Sunday Alliance has postponed fixtures until April at the earliest in line with the elite game. Until last night, the view of the Lancashire FA was that it was a matter for individual leagues whether they wished to stage fixtures.
