Hull City have been revealed as the first club to oppose restarting the Championship season, offering a blow to West Bromwich Albion, Leeds United, Fulham and Nottingham Forest, who hope to acheive promotion by completing league fixtures.
Ehab Allam, the club’s vice-chairman, has written to EFL chairman Rick Parry and the 23 rival Championship clubs to outline his "serious concerns" over football's return amid the coronavirus pandemic.
It has been previously reported that five second-tier clubs are rebelling against a season restart, with three said to be from Yorkshire, with Hull City being the first club.

The Hull City chief has claimed the club will face costs of around £1.2million in failing to complete the season and addresses his fears over sporting integrity, revealing that he will vote against potential changes to contract extensions beyond June 30.
The Tigers sit one place and two points above the relegation places having failed to win a Championship match since New Year's Day.
Allam writes: “I do not presently believe that the 2019/20 season can be safely completed without unnecessarily exposing Championship clubs to potential legal action in the event that one or more of its employees (or their family members) were to become infected with COVID-19.
“As made clear on last week’s conference call, I am against the 2019/20 season being completed under the present circumstances and in light of the wider public health issues facing the United Kingdom at the present time.
“My position remains that the season should be voided and (with no further games played and efforts instead being focused upon ensuring a safe return in the advance of next season, whenever that ultimately takes place), with this means of drawing a conclusion to the 2019/20 season (including how the important questions of promotion and relegation would then be addressed) being put to a formal vote pursuant to the EFL’s Articles of Association.”
Premier League clubs - including Norwich City - have made it clear that they will object to movement between the EFL and Premier League should the Championship not complete it's full schedule - meaning that West Brom's promotion hopes could take a hit should others side with Hull.
Despite Hull City's objections, it's understood that the majority of Championship clubs are keen to complete the 2019/20 season.

birminghammail--2020-05-19--How Lee Hendrie's Aston Villa career ended under Martin O'Neill

Lee Hendrie left Aston Villa after 14 years with a lump in his throat - but vowed to prove then-boss Martin O'Neill wrong .

This is my chance .
I probably suit Martin 's style of football ' .
`` But it just did n't seem to be .
I was hampered with these calf strains .
I could n't get to grips with them .
That was always the problem , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ age of 30 , which is when I left .

birminghammail--2020-05-19--Roger Waters accuses David Gilmour of 'banning' him from Pink Floyd website

Roger Waters has accused his former bandmate David Gilmour of banning him from using Pink Floyd ’ s website to promote his work .
Waters left the influential prog rock group in acrimonious circumstances in 1985 , launching unsuccessful legal action against the other members to stop them using the band ’ s name without him .
The group – Waters , Gilmour , Nick Mason and the late Richard Wright – reunited for Live 8 in 2005 .
In a video shared on social media , Waters , 76 , said he convened a “ sort of Camp David @ @ @ @ @ @ @ band in London last year and “ proposed all kinds of measures to get past this awful impasse that we have and the predicament we found ourselves in.
” However , according to Waters , “ it bore no fruit , I ’ m sorry to say ” .
Waters then bemoaned what he claims is his lack of access to Pink Floyd ’ s millions of social media followers , saying he wished the accounts would feature his recently released , socially-distanced version of the song Mother .
He said : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I am banned by David Gilmour from the website.
” Waters added : “ David thinks he owns it .
I think he thinks because I left the band in 1985 that he owns Pink Floyd , that he is Pink Floyd and that I ’ m irrelevant and that I should keep my mouth shut .
“ We ’ re all welcome to our opinions.
” Waters is calling for “ equal access ” to Pink Floyd ’ s social media following .
Waters said there had been “ rumblings and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Polly Samson , novelist and wife of Gilmour , “ year after year , month after month , day after day ” on Pink Floyd ’ s social media channels .
The video ended with Waters urging fans to stay safe amid the pandemic .
Gilmour has been contacted for comment .
Pink Floyd were formed in London in 1965 and are one of the biggest-selling groups ever .
