Well we knew they wouldn't go down without a fight:

"Macclesfield demand EFL exercise power to stop their relegation to National League.
EFL regulation over National League start dates could see Silkmen saved from the drop."

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

If relegation is two teams, as in from league 2, then the EFL should relegate them first, then consider who has broken the rules and relegate them too.  Simple

Mind you, we could have a close season with 20+ relegations!!!

Interesting, presumably Stevenage will do the same which means a 25 team league 2 next season, nice one FA/Stevenage/Macc/EFL. You couldn't make it up if you tried.

If this gets overturned and Harrogate can't come up, then the legal ramifications are huge. Harrogate have just dug up their artificial pitch which provided them with a 7 day income as per the EFL's instructions. In fact, to meet the deadline, they had to start on this 2 days after sealing promotion.

They are recruiting to a League 2 budget of £1.5m. It isn't finalised yet but the rumoured salary cap in the National League is set to be £900k.

What an absolute mess. The pure uncertainty over whether Harrogate can play in our division needs clearing up ASAP because players may decide not to sign for them due to this.

I think Harrogate will be allowed to play in L2 next season.

It'll either be that Macc stay in the NL and everything runs 'as normal', or they'll be reprieved and L2 will have 25 teams (and 3 go down).

There will not be 25 teams in L2 next season. Not a consideration under any circumstances. Can not and will not happen.












Can it?
