But league vice chairman Craig Johnson told the Non League Paper: “We’ve decided we would not be running a league cup type of event." As ever, the news sparked plenty of debate, with some defending the league's decision and others accusing the Isthmian League of not wanting to play football. Lewes chairman Stuart Fuller defended the league on Twitter saying: "The leagues would love to play football but not in a way that puts any club in financial distress.

Bromley and Cray Wanderers fan Colin Head asked: "Do the Isthmian League actually want to play football anymore?"
