Covid - Abandonment of the season, could it happen?

Penalties?

Don't really understand why Wrexham are abstaining. It effects them as much as anyone else whether the season continues - regardless of whether they are entitled to loans or grants.

As far I understand it Wrexham are abstaining because any loans available to the National League will be provided by Sport England, therefore Wrexham not being entitled to a loan decided to abstain.
But the vote is not about accepting loans but about whether or not to continue the season, so I am wondering if they will reconsider now.

Thanks Jerry. I’d say that may be why they are reportedly abstaining. Shouldn’t have to mean that, though.

Missed this. Thanks Pete.

He’s a bit out of date. Altrincham most certainly voted for. Unless it’s a statement of ‘We voted for’ that suffices and nothing less for the purpose of this table?

Parmenter probably was hoping it’s inclusion might hasten the demise of our League for the season. Some might suggest he needs to concentrate his attentions to avoiding stowaways on his company’s deliveries and pitch maintenance. I wouldn’t as it must be difficult for all Dover’s players and fans presently.

I see the King’s Lynn Chairman who charged his fans an astronomical amount to watch our visit to them has made clear his intentions. A proud first season in the division. At least the reward will be the avoidance of relegation as the trap door is sealed up.

Will be interesting to see what sort of sides are put out onto the field for some for the remainder of the season should the National League continue.

He tried his hardest to influence it but couldn’t quite manage. Hopefully gives a good steer as to which way NLP voting is going. I’ll be sorry to see him go. Clearly a man of principle.

Parmenter said “Even if the vote is to continue, I do not believe that the league will be able to continue in any credible form or with integrity for another five months”.

Our FA Trophy quarter final falls on the day we were due to play at Dover, although I note others elsewhere have pondered whether that might have been postponed after a long trip in any event.

My guess is he will have furloughed all higher earners by the rescheduled date, having not wanted the season to start in the first place, so we can only guess what Dover side on a Tuesday night we’ll be up against. Maybe some lads from his produce distribution business at the end of their shift and a couple of queuing lorry drivers on the bench?

Perhaps the King’s Lynn Chairman and co-commentator might dip into the Weatherspoons market for end of season strengthening. £50 to get in for home fans covid permitting and a bottle of English brandy for English people free at the gate.

Just a pity the DCMS don’t minute their meetings, really. As I suspect there lies the real villains of the peace and not any concerned and principled Chairmen.
