We really don't want to get dragged down into that mess again.

Is it as simple as a majority vote either way in the National League and that's what they do?

Then 1 or more clubs say we don't mind playing but without grants we have no money to pay wages etc.. The grants are not immediately available, so will the clubs at the top of the league bail them out. If they don't play will points be given to the opposing teams. It is a total and utter mess. I cannot see any chairman saddling his club with debt and no income to pay it be it this year next year or whenever. Come tomorrow hopefully some sort of firm decision will be made, but I think the power will be with the lower placed. No money, no play. You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

You can't force a club to participate in a league with no guaranteed income or long term strategy for repayment. In effect put additional financial burden on clubs, just because your own club has a sniff at promotion... Surely it has to be a vote they all either agree to or not...

That puts a different light on things and makes it unlikely that we have grounds for complaint should we drop down. The only other thing to consider is what will happen to teams that can't afford to carry on if the vote is for finishing the season? Will they be forced to play on or will they allow the league to be cut in size? If the size is cut, how do they deal with results from teams that opt out? It's a right old mess.
