Re: Rest of the season?

Those clubs that failed/ refused to play on Saturday have now been officially notified they are being sanctioned. This is going to go down well. A number of clubs could start with points deduction next season or fines they can’t pay this season. If the League doesn’t give any meaningful punishment t...

Re: Rest of the season?

I understand the league are now asking clubs to vote before the 28 day deadline so I guess we will see a decision one way or the other by the weekend. In the meantime, some clubs are receiving letters from the league asking whether they will fulfil Saturday’s fixtures and threatening sanctions.

Re: Rest of the season?

You're right some clubs with low average gates did very well out of the grants and of course the with much higher gates did disproportionately badly. Hence all the bitter recriminations over how the original allocation was handled. Without knowing each individual club's finances it is hard to say if...

Re: Rest of the season?

The whole situation needs sorting soonest so hope we cast our votes one way or the other. Running down our reserves or taking a loan when promotion looks unlikely doesn’t seem like the best option to me. Better to regroup for a hopefully normal 21/22 season. Players might be financially better off o...

Re: Tuesday night

Ebbsfleet are a decent side. Good to see Fisher’s scoring run continue but Muir now 6 games without a goal. We need more from him to make a real challenge.

Re: Rest of the season?

The current vote in NLN/NLS is 18 -15 in favour of N&V with 10 to vote including us. 22 is the threshold. My understanding is that if the league is declared N&V there will be no promotion so PPG doesn't come into it. If the league continues but clubs drop out with their records expunged then...

Re: Rest of the season?

Latest publicly declared tally is 16 votes for null and void in NLN/NLS with 16 votes to come. 22 votes is the threshold. Of course depends on Resolution 1 being carried first otherwise irrelevant.

Re: Rest of the season?

An interesting tweet from the DW official feed tonight. Sailing close to the wind in my view. Clearly no respect for the NL leadership but not going to help the fraught situation. Maidstone now voting for null and void angry with the previous grants distribution.

Re: Rest of the season?

Practically speaking what would happen if the old season ended in December and you needed to refurbish your pitch in January and February- not exactly grass growing season? Lots of practical considerations that would make this difficult compared to waiting out the Covid situation and starting again ...

Re: Tuesday night

Not voted yet.I believe they would like to continue but not keen on the loan funding option for obvious reasons.

Re: Rest of the season?

With some clubs refusing to play on Saturday despite the league threatening sanctions, what sanctions will be now levied. A points deduction will have no effect given that there is no relegation, unless the deduction is applied to next season. How many points would be adequate punishment? The altern...

Re: Rest of the season?

It could be that NLN null and void votes will carry the day and end the season. No surprise that Dorking would like a reduced NLS competition for those clubs would would prefer to continue. The desperation for promotion is palpable. Quite how that would work is not clear except that Dorking would be...
