I think in view of the uncertainty I might delay purchasing my season ticket this season until things become clearer.

I'll stand by my thought that we'll get back before the furlough scheme ends. The last few weeks have been one long pr exercise and that'll be the key in getting us back. Scheme ends the end of October.

Yesterday summed it up for me. The govt have kept bowling alleys, casinos and health spas shut due to the rise in cases. These places have been shut since March so are the only places we can be certain are not responsible for the rise in virus cases.

I don't think it takes Poirot and Einstein to think that you might be more likely to contract it in the pub where loads of households are spending extended periods of time indoors together, sitting down without face coverings because they are exempt from the restrictions...but are pubs closing? Nope, not even in the towns that are under the notional "local lockdowns" where two households can't socialise in a house. Forty households can socialise in the same room down the road without wearing face coverings as long as that room sells alcohol.

It's an absolute nonsense and this will dictate football coming back. They will be very keen not to be seen to push clubs over the edge and also very very keen not to extend the furlough scheme.

If figures allow, we'll be back before the end of October. If the figures don't fit, I wouldn't mind having a stab we'll be brought back anyhow.

Unfortunately (and politics aside ) economics  would have always  drawn us out of C19 miles to early. Stop start Lock down is what we have and unfortunately we as a club at our level is not anywhere a priority. Premiership football on TV is just fine for the majority of football fans who don’t even know Non-League is out there. Problem we haven’t got anyone fighting our fight in the Westminster bubble. FA don’t care a , and our League Committee have proved their inadequate behaviour.

Politics aside, the economy will be affected far worse if we have to keep dipping in and out of lockdowns for months on end.



The premier league exacerbated the problem for clubs at our level by not making a decision for in excess of two months. There was absolutely no way our clubs could have survived hanging on that uncertainty. I know you don't like the southern League decision but they had to make one and with the uncertainty above us regards what those leagues would have accepted, I think they made the only decision they could have.

The leagues should have come together and made a decision top to bottom as I said at the time. Once the EFL said they would wait for the prem and the national League said they would wait for the EFL and the prem said we'll make a decision in...x weeks/months I think the SL were left with no option. They certainly couldn't promote anybody without the leagues above confirming they'd accept them, which they wouldn't as they were waiting on leagues above them and there may have been nowhere to go.

An unenviable position they should never have been put in but they made the only decision left open to them realistically. Couldn't have kept extending player contracts at our level indefinitely incase of playoffs etc and the testing regime would have broke most of the clubs.
