Don't often disagree with you, but not sure how you can use those points as a reason for not going down when they are the exact reasons we are.


I admit self-interest is playing a huge part. If I was a fan of anybody else apart from Southend and the Mariners I would not be giving it a moments thought, but that is the way of it.

If it can be proved that the NL is not a fit and proper league, and has broken its own rules regarding a full programme of matches and stopping relegation from it, and has itself caused its member clubs extreme hardship which means next season is in some doubt, then a reprieve would do me just fine. I would rather we banter with each other in August as fans of a Football League club.

On reflection, I would not punish the NL sides who get promoted as they have played on in good faith but in these exceptional circumstances you just never know what might be decided.

It's a very very long shot, but here's hoping.

We were rubbish.  We need to suck it up and pay the consequences.  Some people's argument that the teams that get promoted from the NL have played teams who don't care because they have no relegation  has no bearing on how we have performed.  Also the promoted teams won have played one of the bottom five every week.  They also will have played challengers to the promotion spot / play off places and won them.  Let's be gracious in defeat and I'll see you at Wembley next year, if we're not Champions.

What about relegating teams to a league that breaks it own rules and inflicts financial hardship on its teams, I don't think for one minute anyone argues we don't deserve to be relegated, however do we deserve to be subjected to the complete incompetence of the leagues administration.. I think not.

Is it about time that the national league became the fifth division of the EFL?


In terms of its play, there's probably been a strong argument in favour of that for years. But, given the National League has its own TV deal, it would probably be a lot more complicated that. I guess self-interest will probably mean no change.

As we aren’t voting, it’s worth knowing what others are thinking!
