And wrexham are planning to abstain because they aren't eligible for loans.

And wrexham are planning to abstain because they aren't eligible for loans.

They potentially may vote in this round; as it's not a loan-vote. Simply, should clubs vote separately and should the season continue or end (regardless of how it is fundeD).

[Toff Apple]

Now it turns out they may be eligible for grants from the FAW

AFC Fylde in their statement saying they want to continue https://www.afcfylde.co.uk/club-statement-our-views-on-the-current-position/ outline the loans are for 20 years at 2% with a 4 year payment holiday upfront and that they are available to cover players' wages. They can also be used as a hybrid with grants or of course failing that clubs can access 100% grants in cases of extreme hardship.

Surely any Board with a handle on their budget should be able to deal with a fixed interest 20 year repayment loan for half a season's running costs, elite or not.

True.

Makes you wonder doesn't it. Just doing the figures on gate income alone, assuming 3000 average paying £15 average each then that's just under 1m for 22 home league games. That's being generous with the figures on gates and gate income too.

Is it just me or does resolution 4 on our website story make no sense.  a) it says conditional on resolution one being passed when I think it means the opposite and b) there is no mention of the national league at all - as written it says that the NL continues and the NL clubs get a majority say in whether or not NLN and NLS continue - that can't be right!

Oh, you are quite right. The National League website states that Resolution 4 is conditional on Resolution 1 NOT being passed, which makes more sense.
Either somebody has messed up the cutting and pasting or noticed something was wrong after posting the original statement!

That version also includes NL stopping in resolution 4 which also makes more sense

[Wilmslow Alty]

By those numbers it only takes eight NL clubs to make sure resolution 1 fails and then, should the eight N/S votes opt for ending the season, the same eight NL clubs could vote with them to end the season for all three leagues.

[Bath Alty]

Who would those 8 be though?  Those in relegation threat would probably vote for resolution one as the nln and nls are more likely to close down so they become safe. Those in with a playoff shout will want to carry on and best shot at that is resolution 1 as well so only those who think they are safe and have nothing to play for would vote against one, and some of them might do the right thing and let nln and nls decide for themselves

I think the teams in the NL who want to void the season are more worried about going bankrupt than being relegated.

Not sure that would be true looking at how much money everyone got compared with what they would have got from gate receipts
