Title: Other non-league football cancelled and results expunged
Post by: AltyFan101 on March 26, 2020, 03:32:56 PM

All football below our level called off for remainder of season with no promotion/relegation:

Decision pending for national league.

Means no trip to south shields or FC united and confines Tamworth to another year of exile!

Any club like Jersey who've already won promotion, should be promoted.

Unbalances the leagues though unless a team above has already been relegated too. Whole thing is a mess. Wait and see how long we are off for before you work out what to do next. They will look daft If we aren’t ready to go again until January

Unfortunately for a lot of clubs wages will be owed, but i assume no longer owed if FA end the season.

Most players in leagues below are non-contract, no play no pay.

Feel they've jumped the gun, possibly testing water.

I agree with the last point, which I think also applies to Vauxhall Motors closer to home.
There will be a vacancy because of Bury (and possibly others lower down the leagues) so I think there will still be the occasional promotion as this filters down through the divisions. The FA have put back their reorganisation a season, which may be bad news for new clubs Bury AFC and FC Isle of Man.

Although the EFL, Prem, etc... would delay any decision as long as possible, would that mean that points deductions, fines, etc.. would be carried over from 19-20 to 20-21?

If City play in the champions league, where does that leave Bolton, could Bury mount another legal challenge, assuming of course that clubs survive the lay off.

I think many options may open a legal minefield. Club owners have to be very sensible and really think of the bigger picture.

I enjoyed the Halesowen match this year and feel sorry for their predicament. There was a good atmosphere at the game and a real welcome for us Alty fans.
