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.


Surely if a majority vote to continue, the others will have to accept that or risk being removed from the N.L. so what does it matter to the outside Football World if the National League Board and the teams that voted to continue are happy that a team may win the League based on possibly playing some weakened teams?

Why would the EFL be that bothered if the N.L. finishes and the team that finishes top wants to be promoted and that position has been accepted by a majority of teams?

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).


Nathan Pond was playing for Fylde too.

In theory yes. But at what stage does it become a farce. There will be a point if that happens the EFL will need to clarify if a non completed season qualifies for promotion which they have previously said numerous times does not.

It’s a mess down there and I can only see it getting worse if they ask teams to play who simply cannot due to being insolvent.

They aren’t going to remove teams from the League. There’s zero chance they’d get away with it, teams would have a huge legal case against them. NL own rules say they cannot compete if playing whilst insolvent.


All Town aren’t we

It's against the league's own rules to play while insolvent as it is to take on loans, so the NL board can't really punish them for pulling out.

They were also badly advised and encouraged to start the league for this year without funding in place beyond January. Many say they wouldn't have started had they known.

Think that was obvious all along. Remains to be seen what the fallout will be.
