Abandonment of the season

To support the war effort in World War I, the Association had curtailed its 1915 season by five weeks,[1] and then cancelled its 1916 season entirely.[2] With the war still ongoing, the Association voted on 5 February 1917 to cancel the 1917 season as well.[3] 1917 was the last Association season cancelled during World War I, with a premiership season held in 1918 with a reduced number of clubs.[4]

gollark: Well, then that's ALSO bad.
gollark: BEE POLL!
gollark: Which is vaguely worrying for self-driving cars.
gollark: If your neural network is public, people could probably do !!FUN!! stuff like trick it into flagging regular stuff as evil offensiveness by tweaking a few pixels.
