If GTFC should actually win the appeal ( alleged to be heard on 10th June) - will that mess up Paul Hurst recruiting plans for next season - ie targeting players for the National League campaign - then having to target players for League 2 and finding most of players suitable for this league have already been tapped up and made their decision to join other clubs.

didn't Grimsby get relegated at a vote because it would cost more for a teams from the north west to come across on the train than stay local?

Yes.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from MuddyWaters


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


Two key questions for me. What exactly is being proposed and does Cowling's view reflect a wider attitude among Football League, and particularly League Two, chairmen? I think he's quite right to say that he would have been seen as self-serving if he'd made these remarks a few weeks ago. What I don't understand is why he thinks deducting points from teams at the bottom of the National League is justified.

He was saying if the sides at the bottom knew they would have points deducted next season, they would have had something to play got this season despite there being no relegation.

Points deductions imply the clubs on the receiving end have broken the rules in some way. Taking Dover out of the equation, given their case is pending, I don't see what rules the clubs in what would have been the National League's relegation places have broken. So I don't see the justification for it. It's not the National League clubs' fault that the North and South voted for null and void.

It wasn’t suggested as a punishment. What he was saying is that when the NL voted to end relegation this season, they should have retained some jeopardy for the teams who otherwise would’ve been at risk of going down, to make sure that all teams continued to be competitive.

Listen to it again.

I wouldn’t worry about that too much, Hurst is renowned for taking his time with signings and I feel a lot of our options will all be hoping for a football league club to come in for them. I’d be very surprised if we signed anybody before June 10th
