Forest Green Rovers owner Dale Vince said suspending all professional matches on 13 March was a "mistake" because the virus had "barely impacted the country" by that stage.
"I think cancelling all games until 3 April was a mistake," Dale told BBC Sport.
"I think it was an error of judgment - there were a few cases in the Premier League of self-isolation.
"In that three to four week period we could have virtually finished our season playing Saturday to Tuesday.
"Instead of shutting down I would have doubled down and said let's play our way to the end of the season as soon as possible because the virus and the rate of infection across the county is not going to get better in two, three or four months."
I agree with him, the EFL closed football down before it was Government policy regarding crowds. They should of carried on playing and advised the elderly and more at risk groups not to attend.

Was listening to a guy from Chicago on tv who was in the financial markets, a money man.
He was saying that we should have just let the virus rip and get over with it in a short time.
He was actually saying business of 99% of the population was more important than 1% of deaths.
Can you believe it?

From a pure financial perspective, he’s right of course
Virus will be over in a matter of weeks
Far less pensions to pay out
Care home crisis solved for a few years
Economic impact minimised
Far fewer job losses
Chance to avoid world recession
Etc etc etc
But from a human perspective he’s a proper bell end
