CHAMPIONSHIP and League 1 clubs are gearing up for the new season after agreeing to delayed starts.
A meeting last Wednesday saw clubs from both divisions agree to push back the season, with the Championship now set to start on Easter weekend (2nd to 5th April) and League 1 to start on the weekend of May 8/9th.
Championship clubs could return two weeks before that, with the first two rounds of the Challenge Cup set to take place on the weekends of March 20/21st and March 27/28th.
