No surprise.

A decision must be made by end of April.

Null and void or points per game cant see it starting up again.

null and void it for me if you can't take it to a conclusion.......how can you promote kings lynn when their form has dipped and York are top???

Interesting to note we'd have been promoted in '91/'92 with half a dozen games left ahead of Barnet :-)

I noticed one of Chester's dynamic duo on Twitter used us as a comparison point for their own case, i.e. they're 7th but would be level with us if they won their game in hand.

OK then, keeping the subject on us, beat York and win our game in hand and we'd have been 3 points off the top with everyone faltering around us.

Ignoring who is making the point, it is still valid (as much as I don't like to admit it). As I can see it, either the season is completed or it is voided. The only exception to that would be in the case where a promotion or relegation was mathematically guaranteed, and even that needs the co-operation of divisions above/below.

You cant vote on it.
PPG is a flawed outcome
Null and void is unpalatable

A mass penalty shoot out to decide remaining fixtures and po games. Madness  I know but it  vaguely resembles football

It'll probably come down to which option is less litigious. At the moment, I'd say null and void.

This has been my thought all along.
The Premier League will relegate nobody because doing so will open them to serious litigation from very rich clubs. It follows then that there will be no promotion either from the Championship, and so on down the leagues.
The only case where this might not happen is that Bury are already gone and League 2 will be one short - I think Barrow probably deserve it but it will be interesting to see what the FA/National League do.
If that happened it would leave one spot up to the National and actually on ppg it would be Wealdstone not KL, however I can’t imagine KLs erm ‘controversial’ chairman taking it with good grace. Perhaps a pre season playoff between the two.
