If we close this thread then, can I mention some indirect good news for us in NL?

Last Tuesday ex Town defender Alex Whitmore scored the first goal in York’s first game at their new stadium. He was playing for Fylde, who won 3-1.  Paddy McLaughlin played for York.

No crowd and a home defeat for York.  Denting their promotion hopes, which will probably be curtailed and expunged  along with the result.

York have been after a new stadium as long as us.  They got funding in 2008.  It has still taken 13 years with numerous and different problems.  They have a 8,000 seat capacity.

(Thanks to Barrattstander for identifying the Whitmore goal).

I would be happy to bet it won’t finish 13-10. Mainly because it can’t. There are only 22 votes with Wrexham abstaining.


I did take that into account as I said 12

They need to sort this out quick smart so fellas on here know whether or not to organise that open top bus parade to celebrate staying up via null and void.

Chesterfield were a ‘swing’ club and that news means people on here aren’t going to get your wish.

I think we need to close this thread and hope our fantastic new squad are someday capable of beating 10 men.


I think you’ve missed the point a few have made. It probably will be a majority in favour to continue. In fact I don’t see many arguing with that fact.

However if you get 3/4 more teams refuse to play like Dover then it cannot finish on the same terms and one would argue that would affect the final outcome.

It’s all well and good you all poo pooing the chances of a majority voting to finish the season but if you were in charge of a club at NL level what would you do ? I’d publicly say I wanted to continue but when it came down to a final vote I’d be voting no and putting all my employees on furlough and saving myself a fat wedge of ££££ .

Aren’t Chesterfield still pulling about £250,000 in parachute payments this year? Might go some way to explaining their position.

If the vote is to continue and the clubs that voted to stop have to play they would in theory have to continue. However if they didn't take a loan and had no money who would pay their expenses?

Given their league position they are getting money from somewhere.

Yes but I have a feeling a few more will join Dover and simple say no, we can’t without funding. They know the NL have no comeback to that
