This is the link from the league itself. Most clubs in  National South actually wanted to carry on, but were outvoted by the National North teams. It was 13-7 in our division which was a bit closer than I had expected, and also means there will be no relegation this season.

Does Jordan want to come on loan to keep fit until August

Dudley and Haughton from Chester would be beneficial

There still will be teams in the National who don't or carn't play on, like Dover.

Now that there is no relegation, I wonder how the league will deal with the issue?
Other clubs may look to cut costs, furlough players and coaching staff.

As I have said before, the ones who don't want to continue should have all results expunged then play off for which one goes down to bring the league back to an even number of teams. The other 16 teams carry on. The season would be less onerous as it would be a 30 match season. We'd still have about 15 games to play after the games vs matches played against expungees were crossed off.

I assume that only one team will now be relegated from League 2.

Think that's all up in the air. There's only 21 in the NLS so one could go down the all three national leagues would have 22 teams with the two promotion teams replacing the bottom two FL clubs.

Fairest solution would be a playoff playoff spot for the top of the North and South.

Winner takes the spot in Conference.

PPG over two seasons gives four side from Evo Stik level, 2 finals and promote to fill gaps AT North and South

Yes, I would agree with something like that, without being definite on the details, It also gives more opportunities for clubs further down the pyramid to fill the gaps higher up.

It has worked out well for us, and more so for the likes of King's Lynn and Weymouth who were facing possible relegation after being promoted, but I surprisingly find myself feeling sorry for AFC Fylde who were relegated into an "elite" league which was set to continue, then gets aborted when they have a fair chance of coming straight back.

I guess there will be no relegation from The National league and justb1 relegation from Lg2

As for players loaned from National north, especially mega bucks Hulme - we will have less income and they might be furloughed.  I think that is a no goer as desirable a prospect as it might be.

My initial suggestion of Hulme joining us to keep fit was somewhat tongue in cheek at the situation some of the players at step 2 clubs are now in. I should have added some rolling eyes.

But yes furlough rules / loan rules will apply

I'm not sure it's done and dusted yet. The Gloucester owner was making noises about legal action and I wouldn't be suprised if Fylde and one or two others didn't join in.

It's a sorry state of affairs. i hope everyone is still around to start again in August.

Goodness knows where it leaves Bury and Macc.
