In light of the challenges presented by the COVID-19 virus – we’ve decided to cancel this week’s #SportOnSocial 2020 event and deliver it in a different, safer way.
It’s never easy to cancel an event, but our priority is the health and well-being of industry friends and colleagues.
The #SportOnSocial League Table 2020 & Report will be released on Thursday 19 March as planned.
