Funding statement - EIHL

[DiscoRay]

If the EIHL has accepted the government funding, does that then force them to play I wonder? I would have been happy to start a new season in September next year as you pointed out, hopefully fans would be allowed in then.

You only get the funding if you arrange to play this season, as it's purpose is to cover the lost income from not operating normally under the current conditions.

Has anyone heard if the funding a a grant, a loan or a mix of the two?

Mainly a loan from I think, judging by the parts ive read, but I do think an element is grant based also, but depending on certain criteria being met...

Other sports got it as a full grant, and from Neil Black's update earlier this week, the EIHL are looking for it on the full grant basis as well. If that happens, then I can see a 5/6 team part season happening in January.

I got the wrong end of the stick then, got confused I think because there was definite talk of loans and payback at one point...
