The Dover thing defies all logic to me. The usual punishment if a club cannot complete or refuses to complete its fixtures is to be kicked out of the league.
I suppose they didn't want to do that to Dover because of Covid. So because Dover couldn't afford to continue playing they've been fined £40,000 they apparently don't have and have been deducted 12 points in an enormously competitive division, which almost certainly condemns them to relegation as any fan-interest they have created over the years drains away when the mountain they have to climb becomes obvious. Wrexham has Hollywood, Dover has an idea for a script jotted on the back of an old fag packet.
Extending some sort of fake kindness to Dover turns out to be similar to a slow and painful death. I hope I'm wrong and that they are in the right place to enlist a bit of Dunkirk spirit.
