This is how I feel; can’t see any way we play again this season and they need to decide that now, think that part is a fairly easy decision to make imho. Then obviously the tough decisions come about promotion and relegation
Ditto!
The sooner the powers that be face the inevitable the better, the season is humped!
People need get around the virtual table and make decisions, then legalities need resolving then we as a club decide what the future has in store as well as we can.🤞

I think everyone needs to prepare for what will be a void season with no promotion.

What about the fact that the EFL are short of a team with Bury? I was reading Bury AFC might start up but it would be the same as what happened with Rangers, starting on the very lowest leagues

I have no confidence whatsoever in any of the football organisations be it the FA, Premier League, EFL or our own National League, so sorry, I am not expecting any common sense or logic to come out of any of the deliberations.

Whatever the decision is, the fact the league has taken so long to communicate with clubs and supporters is a disgrace..... we've had 0 news since the postponement of the league, dragging their feet is an understatement.

To be fair they’ve probably just been hoping the football league would make a decision so they could copy that. National League can’t just announce no-one is getting promoted and then football league says hold on we need an extra club for example

All teams have played around 37 games which is 80% of the season.

Every club will have spent a lot of time, effort thought, and not least money to try to make it a success.

In view of this we must not write off the season.

My solution would be to let Barrow takes Bury's place, and allow Harrogate to go up as they would then automatically be the top team.

Unfortunately I expect the season to be null and void without promotion or relegation and it would be typical of our luck. The EFL played this season a team short so there is no reason to believe they wouldn't do it again. There will be a lot of [SwearFilter] off clubs if it's decided on current standings or PPG - what's the chances of some taking legal action?

Latest from the Non-League Paper. Doesn't sound too good!

Regardless of whether its void or continued they still haven't discussed promotion or relegation scenarios. Don't know about anyone else but given the Bury situation I fail to see how we cannot be promoted either through "winning" the league or through the Bury back door route.Two bites one of them has to bear fruit for us.

I take your point completely and agree with it but I am sure Harrogate supporters would have a different point of view. Sensible route would be for us to take Bury's place.

For the time being I think the players should vote for a wage cut to help the club through these difficult times.
