I think you have a point about increased club numbers for a year - I would have been in favour but your point about our league committee is nonsense. They don't run the national League so can't compel them to take teams.

On reflection, as unpopular as it was, I think they took a very difficult and imperfect decision in a timely fashion that gave clubs some certainty. The leagues above us and in Scotland have been an absolute shambles.

Not true Mate. They made the decision to void season well before ALL the Leagues above them. Before that you were advocating or at least suggesting our League should or would wait for the Leagues above us to make the decision on the way forward and us lower Leagues follow?

Football is off the table below the elite level for the foreseeable future. Coronavirus will flourish over the winter without a vaccine.
The AIDS epidemic has been waiting 40 years for one.
“Normal life” will possibly never return. No one wants to admit the possibility that “social distancing” and all it involves, will be a requirement for anyone who wants to avoid being caught up in the contagion.
Having watched the behind closed doors Bundesliga games, can’t see football generating the same excitement, without the crowd!

Absolutely agree.

I do absolutely think they should have waited and it been ended the same top to bottom. That is the only logical solution to me but the leagues above us didn't even cancel their seasons till last week and some are still intending to try to get play offs in.

For clubs at our level, keeping players on in case of play offs in June/July would be financially absurd as would playing behind closed doors so a decision had to be made earlier (it absolutely had to be made before April 30th due to contracts). With leagues above working to a totally different time table (It seems possible for example that the Premier League will still be playing last season on the 8th August when next season was due to start!), the SL were backed into a corner and so, made a decision.

It wasn't a perfect one (I would have waited till late April but in hindsight, that would have been utterly pointless too as the leagues above us are not sorted even now) but to suggest they could have promoted us without the say so of the national League (which wasn't coming as they still haven't finalised their arrangements as we approach the end of may) is nonsense. Surely you accept that?

The EFL can't promote Leeds and vhe Albion without the say so of the prem as they don't control the pl.

My point is a simple one, our League closed all its options in voiding the season before knowing what the Leagues above were going to do. The fact those above have still not decided is irrelevant to this argument.

What I was saying is that your statement that if the SL had ended the season on ppg we'd be in the national League north now is nonsense. No we wouldn't. The southern League couldn't impose us on them.

People can argue whether the sl's decision was right or wrong. What you can't argue is we would have been promoted by now. That is just plainly weong.

I don't understand what you're on about and your habit of quoting a sentence out of context is weird.

I think all the leagues should have been uniform top to bottom and I think we agree on that. They haven't been so saying the Southern League could've promoted us isn't true.

They could have declared us champions, they could have given us a trophy but they couldn't have promoted us. That seems to be where we disagree. They might have waited till May, June, July, Christmas, next Easter and any of those things might have been a solution but until the national League said "yes we're accepting promoted clubs" they didn't have any opportunity to do anything else

The big issue facing us now is financial. Early bird season tickets would be popping up now, pre season friendlies would be being planned etc etc but none of that can go on until we know when supporters can be admitted to grounds.

This will start to bite a lot of clubs fairly sharpish sadly.
