Quite feasible that many clubs will back the VONC but for very different reasons.

Very nice of the panel to note Dover are trying to comply with laws and rules but still fine them. Also acknowledged in the current climate that £60k fine was excessive so dropped it to £40k. Really cant see how any of the above could actually stick lawfully given the basis seems to be that just because the other clubs decided or felt bullied to continue, potentially break their own league rules by losing money leaving Dover facing punishment for following the rules. As Dover had submitted their books the panel obviously either felt that Dover were completely trying it on and would have completed the season fully solvent without further loans....or .........just ignored that they could be insolvent but as everybody else has took that path they should too.

Save making a new thread, although I'd rather us stay up ii have potentially a couple of nice away days within 90mins of me.. Torquay and Weymouth! Also Yeovil which is 40mins.. It kind of feels strange thinking we may be playing Weymouth in the league!

Horrible I know, but let's hope Dover are kicked out of the league. That would hopefully mean a 91st placed finish would keep our EFL status. Also eyes towards Kings Lynn who are said to be struggling badly.
What an absolute disgrace it has come to this.

No it wouldn’t. That would give them less teams not too many... meaning there’s still two places to fill from relegation.

Just accept it fishboy, it's easier that way. We are getting relegated and there is no reprieve. Fecking Stevenage got one last season, but we won't.

When we start in the NL next season it's not going to be a walkover back to the EFL as many hope for. Notts Cty. are 3 games and 15 points behind Sutton and have just lost a cup semi-final to Isthmian League side Hornchurch. I would have thought that County would have had a reasonable budget for promotion which means the size of the budget isn't everything. Their change of manager certainly did not help the cup match result nor is a change of manager at other NL clubs helping.
The top 10 (excluding Sutton) and Maidenhead will all think that they have a chance of promotion, which is probably why so many wanted the season to carry on, regardless of finances. This just shows that the competition in this league every match is going to be tough. Take out Kings Lynn, Weymouth, and Wealdstone and every other club will think they are in with a chance of beating Town.
Don't forget either that come next season we will have a new team, be it with some of this season's team retained. A preseason should happen in some sort of form but from this year's January experience it will take a few weeks for a team to gel.
It's going to be a long 44 games and anywhere in the top 7 will be good. Promotion back to the EFL will be possible but Hurst will have to find some talent from somewhere.

So we're 4 points closer to safety than this time last week with a game in hand on 2 teams in the mix and yet some believe its already over. I really hope the players have more belief than some fans with 9 games left to go. Theres plenty of fight left in this team so maybe the power of positive thinking should take preference over all the doom and gloomers. If you think its all over then stop posting negative crap and go play golf or something and let the rest of us live in hope (it never killed anyone over football by the way). We WILL stay up this season!!

My friend if you would care to take your blinkers off you would find in reading the many posts that some described me as Mr. Positive. The reason is that when all seemed lost I still maintained a positive optimism outlook while others doubted. If you look at my match predictions, always a win and it will be against Salford and every game until the end of the season. If you would care to look at the statistics you will see a different picture. Points lost to all around us, inept performance on the pitch, 11 man defence and no attack. I saw a team fight against Barrow, I saw a team with a spirit score against Walsall and then I didn't see one thing that anybody could call fighting spirit, intentions but no passing ability and nothing to open up a team that had come for a draw. If you care to look at a post I did you will see I mention that we will be playing Cheltenham, Bolton, Exeter, Cambridge, and Morecombe all viewing for top spot and promotion. Salford have a new manager which, apart from Town, usually gives a team a bounce. 2 points out of those 6 games, 3 if we're lucky and how I would like to be wrong. That leaves 3 games and 9 points if we win, lets not forget we are not good at scoring goals. That's 12 points and if the others lose and get no points then we might stay up. We've gone into the last chance saloon, opened the trap door and have fallen in. The fat lady has trouble with her vocal cords, as we are left dangling on a thin thread of hope. Hope my friend is all we have because everything else has gone.
