Clubs have untill Friday to respond on playing Play Offs behind closed doors. No mention of a stream but would hope this would be available.

No vote. Conference to make decision early next week.

[Mrs Warbouys]

I would hope we will move heaven and earth to make sure the playoffs happen. Promotion this season would be fantastic. You’ll get a weaken conference next year, no danger. We can do this

I don't see how you can have play-offs without finishing the leagues; too many variables!

[Timperley The Best]

Not sure if its might differ  for each league ? Null and void at this level and probably all eventually

Would only be between those that finish 2nd to 7th.

Still a chance to expunge all results.

Null and void even eventually in the premier league is  most likely outcome, France  wont even be playing behind closed doors until at least 1 August

That's a new season as well

There obviously isn’t a perfect solution either way. But, of all those offered so far, the idea that some clubs still get the opportunity to dictate their own fate this season in the play offs, while other clubs won’t get the opportunity to avoid relegation with 10 games still to play, is probably the least fair option.

Great to see the pitch being cut and prepared this morning for the forthcoming playoff game

If they don't relegate South and North clubs, only Prem. Would you argue that more clubs would be happy than unhappy?

30-34 clubs would be happy for playoffs and automatic promotion based on PPG Vs 14 that wouldn't be best pleased (and only 4 that care dramatically about going down).

Pleased:
3 Automatic promotions.
13 clubs in playoffs

moderately happy as they are title chasers but a chance to go up still.
4 clubs

4 Relegated North Clubs saved
10 clubs in relagtion battles (less than 3 points from safety)

-----
Disappointed:
12  Clubs looking to get playoffs

Furious
4 relegated clubs

Maybe, yes. And it could certainly work in our favour. But I wasn’t referring to who was going to be happy or not, I was talking about the fairness/integrity of running a two-tiered system to decide different outcomes, within the same season, across different groups of clubs.

I also think you are over-estimating the number of Conference clubs who wouldn’t prefer the security that comes with another year of steam-rollering Chorley, over a resurgent York or Wealdstone joining them at national level next season instead.

Afraid I agree with Timperley The Best. SBL
