On topics more relevant to non league, the Yeovil chairman Scott Priestnall says in this week's NLP (great read by the way) that he doesn't think they should be voting on solutions for the season so won't be using his and says he thinks they should follow whatever pans out from the top of the game.
Have to say I agree with him in that clubs being promoted or relegated in an ideal world, should've been uniform from top to bottom but unless the NL clubs have pots of money, paying players past the end of contracts (there will be quite a few) with no gate income seems extremely unwise. The PL and maybe the championship could perhaps do it through TV money but certainly no one else for behind closed doors fixtures. |

So the national League have ended their season.
Vote now opened to conclude by May 7th on the resolution. Options appear to be PPG straight or PPG (based on home PPG and away PPG allocated proportionately to benefit teams who had more home games left unplayed) or null and void. If either of the PPG options are exercised then the next vote will be on whether to keep the play offs and play them behind closed doors later or to leave table as is. If they choose to nominate sides for promotion, they will nominate Barrow first (to replace Bury) and then a second one (play off winners or the second placed team) if the EFL agree to relegate Stevenage. Really simple and clear then in summary. |

Can anyone realistically see any non league football starting before mass gatherings are allowed? I have to say I can't.
PL will and the EFL might, either entirely (or just the championship) but I just don't see it for non league as being remotely financially viable. I also can't see how clubs will have any funds to make any signings until season ticket sales commence and I don't see how they can be sold until a date for starting is decided upon. I had sort of assumed that by Aug/Sep we would be back but after yesterday's presser where Chris Whitty said social distancing could last the full calendar year, I can't see anything less urgent to reopen than football grounds where people gather shoulder to shoulder for a couple of hours (especially in the colder months when literally everyone gets undercover). Schools will be open, and so will shops but sporting venues (to spectators), theatres, cinemas and gig venues are going to be right at the back of the queue I think. I also think if the EFL starts behind closed doors and non league can't get going or even if PL and the champ start without L1 and L2 in tow, it causes huge problems in terms of promotion and relegation throughout the pyramid. The financial side is a well foreseen problem and is a huge one but I feel like no one is fully appreciating the administrative issues this causes. If football has a staggered start by more than a month or so, I don't know how that gap gets bridged. Edited by Pricey2 - 23 Apr 2020 at 10:49pm |
