In case we didn't already know...

No game v Dover on Saturday.

Rearrange another game or give the pitch another break?

I'd be inclined to get that extra training session in on Saturday

Kings Lynn is looking 50 - 50 too.
They are looking to furlough some players and give others a wage cut.

They know they can't get relegated, but it does somewhat lower the integrity of the league!

How does it work when a club stops playing during a season? Do the teams who have taken points from Dover lose them, including goals scored?

No decision yet, but I would imagine their season expunged! What penalty they will get it is hard to say, but I think they might end up with a points reduction next season as relegation unlikely, and I think they may volunteer to go to a southern league to cut costs: just guesswork mind.

Technically, the National League have the power to expel Dover for failing to fulfil their fixtures. As harsh as this maybe considered in the current environment, it occurs to me that it's an opportunity to even up the number of teams to 22.

Understand where you're coming from, but I'd be astonished if they were expelled from the GMVC (or whatever it's called these days) on that basis.

Interestingly, Boreham Wood have had their application for a loan turned down on the basis that they have enough money in the club to carry on until March next year.

I wonder which other clubs have applied and are about to be disappointed

Perhaps in that case clubs who get loans turned down could apply to Boreham Wood for financial assistance 😂

That was something maybe certain clubs didn't take into account: that what they believe is a need for money is different to that which the government thinks is need...
...
...
...
that and that the government probably never had the intention of giving out any more money to something as popular as football (they don't like popular things for the common man like pubs either!)
