Jersey had won all their non-league games when football was stopped. If York and Notts County are allowed to kick off agin this, then there will be tremors right down the pyramid. If they promote from Nat North and South that will mean Fylde get relegated won't it? You think they won't go mental, pushed down when their entire aim is to reach the EFL? If the EFL want Barrow fine, they'll be back with us as soon as football mania overtakes virus mania. They don't have Accrington's chairman to keep them in money.
I can't see the EFL wanting the hassle of relegating Stevenage, that ends any hopes of the National League acting autonomously. They can't promote two clubs if the EFL only wants one and they can hardly relegate three from the National League and promote three between the two divisions of North and South. BUT if the National League hadn't made this move their clubs would have either had no players had the season re-started in July, OR played with completely newly-recruited teams, as most player contracts would have ended. So how would that have been fair?
If a war had stopped the entire country teams wouldn't have been moaning as their players would have been too busy getting conscripted. The country has stopped, even if it is a virus to which the world is over-reacting. What if the virus stayed for three years, would they still be saying pick-up where we left off? Would Harrogate want Jon Stead at 40 however much leading their line after three years of idleness?
If Notts County whinge they should simply be told that they weren't even above Harrogate who CAN'T go up because their pitch wouldn't be allowed into the EFL. Essentially they aren't going up, because, much like us, they were fairly shit.
