...and they are played behind closed doors, can they be broadcast live by Alty TV/Radio Robins with those wishing to view paying an "Attendance" fee?
Just a thought and maybe a long shot!

Contingency plans are in place for this although BT Sports may cover in any case

Better get the line marker out again
-
It might be time to start making friends with the people that own the apartments at the Chequers end ;D
-
On ppg basis I think it would be Chester at home, York away and potentially Boston away in the final unless I've cocked up the maths.
-
The suggestion is that the play-offs will be limited to four teams, in which case, if it is ppg, we'd be off to York again, with Boston hosting Brackley. Chester would miss out completely...
-
Any way Chester miss out gets my vote
-
That really would not be fair. Its one thing having playoffs, but another to change the rules about who competes in them at this late stage.
If we were 6th you wouldnt be happy would you !

I mean it would still be very funny if it screwed Chester. And I don’t think the existing rules can be leaned on too much in a completely unprecedented situation.

I'm just thinking about us now to be honest - 2 games to win the playoffs, and a weakened home advantage, sounds ace right now.

Chester have lost the leagues top scorer to Gloucester city ahead of any potential playoff. Gloucester have been very busy on the signings front this week

Won't be the only player to leave, let's get the playoffs played.

This is bizarre in the extreme - we know Chester's situation, however have Gloucester come into some money or something?

He knows and respects Gloucester's coach from his early days at Birmingham. It's probably nearer home for him too.

They're moving back to Gloucester so instead of paying rent, they should see larger crowds, better bar takings and commercial revenue from their own ground.

According to a recent post on Chester's forum Gloucester have received the benefit of a £1 million pound donation from a local builder who is a lifelong supporter of the club. This might explain the sudden spending spree. I understand that he may also be a white middle-aged male. ;)

Disgusting ! They should have turned the loan down and approached Ru Paul.

Don't remember being against white middle aged men 👍 god forbid I'll be one of those in 15 years.

Any news on this?
-
EFL meeting tomorrow and voting on outcomes , not sure when the National League will meet but it should be soon
-
cheers
-
League One and Two playoffs look set to go ahead, and Stevenage to be relegated ahead of Macc, depending on whether National League can guarantee a restart for the 20/21 season.

Macc not safe yet. There's a committee meeting for late payment of wages again.
EFL:
Under the proposals agreed by Clubs, the 24th placed Club in the League Two will be relegated to the National League provided the Board receives the necessary assurances that the National League will start Season 2020/21 (i.e. the relegated Club in League Two has somewhere to play)
. Due to ongoing disciplinary matters, the final placings cannot yet be confirmed

Does this make it more likely of a play off in the North?

Probably but who/how is testing going to be done/paid for anytime soon ?
-
Allegedly, the National League are having a similar meeting tomorrow to discuss this!

I have heard figures of £3m for EFL to test the clubs staff ? How on earth would NL clubs be able to afford even a fraction of that ?
-
I heard it would have taken £ 150k ish for testing over ten games or so to complete the season . That's 15k per game roughly .Presume it would cost nln clubs the same
-
Great, we've saved 2.85 Million in an hour.lets keep dropping the price we've heard
-
I think the 3 million would be for the full league

Less than that, but still a hefty bill, I believe.
From coaching right through to the operation staff inside the ground on a match day, we have less staff to test. There are also less contact 'events' to test for, in comparison with full time football clubs who train and travel to hotels, etc.
So I don't think we'd be looking at those sorts of members but it certainly ain't cheap.
-
Legoland, Thorpepark and Chessington World of Adventure opening at the start of July.
Hopefully we'll get a playoff and or new season date tomorrow
-
I understand that the EFL have paid to test all Championship and L1 players and staff and FOUR L2 teams (presumably the playoff teams) but have the actual costs been revealed ?
So presumably NL would have to pay for each playoff team and staff to be tested before they could return to training.
Thats 18 teams,.. where would that money come from ?

Vanarama? (Benefit from five televised games on BT)
BT money from this season / last season if left?
Club contributions?
We could use some of the 30k raised? Or we could crowd fund.
Or we could use revenue from future playoff streamed game ( 500 people watching a stream of the game at £10 each is £5k, likewise 200 people at £25)
-
If it came to play offs, will we be home or away.
Has that finally been decided.
If we are at home, do we pay for everyone to be tested?
Will the players still be on contract.
Not saying us, but could clubs bring in other players for the play offs.
This is a minefield.
The one good thing, if we are at home, the pitch is looking ok for a play off game.

We'd be at home (unless it was a neutral venue like Carrington?) Followed by two aways.
I'd imagine if it's before August it'd be empty ground so you'd imagine all players, managers physio, a few people to open the club up, refs and any St Johns ambulance. Oh and Mr Alty TV.
Im sure given Parkinson has kept his powder dry, most players would be hoping to earn an extension and would sign up for an extra three games - especially if televised.

I did hear , it could be PPG, so only be 2-5 in the playoffs, then we would be away to York

I read that as PSG!
Playing them in the play-offs!!!!

Lot of people confusing the statement from EFL that only four clubs would be involved. This was as some proposals wanted them extending before going back to the standard four.
We'll no doubt be six style. But I'd love to be wrong and Chester and Gateshead to miss out.

Ollie Baylsis:
The National League board meet this afternoon.
Top of the agenda will be whether to hold playoffs & how to decide the leagues.
I understand the League will speak with clubs from each division tomorrow.
Clubs will then be asked to vote.
The FA need to ratify any decisions.
Details on tomorrow afternoon's divisional meetings:
Clubs will be given a presentation by the National League CEO Michael Tattersall & an FA representative.
Only 2 representatives from each club can attend (one must be the chairman).
Clubs may submit questions in advance.
-
From Twitter:
Huge vote for The National League tomorrow afternoon...
My understanding is that York are the team with the most to gain or lose.
Clubs will be asked if they want play offs or not...IF clubs vote ‘no’ then York should go up with Kings Lynn. BUT....
IF York vote NO and 4 other NLN sides vote YES then the play offs will go ahead without York.
So - York owner Jason McGill will basically play a game of poker ♠️ gambling on what he thinks the other clubs will vote for...
However - most likely scenario is clubs vote for NO play offs which means Kings Lynn, York, Wealdstone and Havant go up
Playing the games will cost each club circa £60k - so it’s whether they want to gamble on promotion or take stock ready for next season in current division. 60k estimate on wages and testing.
-
I don't see any playoffs happening.
-
We should vote yes and raise the funds if need be. Might be the best season to bed back in to the conference next year
-
Let's hope the board agree, I think all of us would be dreaming of a "yes" vote!
-
Am I correct in thinking that if the league votes to play the play offs, only the top 4 clubs who voted in favour would qualify?
-

That's the impression I'm getting. Our best case scenario is that all the non-involved clubs vote yes because they've got nothing to lose, York vote no because they want to go up automatically, and Brackley also vote no because they give the impression that they aren't geared up to take part. I'm also not sure whether Boston are in a position to play home matches.
If all of the above dropped into place, we'd have home advantage in the first game at least.
-
Weird that they're allowing Chester and Gateshead (Gateshead less complaints as they didn't make the playoff spots all year)

In which case York Gateshead and Chester would have an arguement to be able to play.
-
Statement from the Club on the website now.
-
Ollie Baylsis reporting that clubs will vote on: Barrow up + playoff, Chorley down, Kings Lynn and Wealdstone up. No playoffs at North/South level.
-
Strong statement that, Bill. Good on you all for continuing to fight the case for the fairest solution to this mess of a situation. For weeks we've been waiting, ready to go. This is so poor.
-
Very strong statement. Good to see us stand our ground.
-
Apparently all NLN playoff clubs voted yes and were told to go away and think about it !
-
Another league which 'asked' the clubs a question but didn't like the answer they received?
-
WELL...there goes that then!
-
York pushing for 2 up now
-

Theyve tought about it and now NL seem to be listening and being forced to challenge the "elite sport" interpretation.
This could go either way !
