It all depends on L1 and above. We've decided (L2) and the others should now follow (or not) Someone had to put a marker down.
We will win the league but might not go up.
L1 needs an extra club with Bury痴 demise. That slot will be filled by the Champions of L2 (us). Our space in L2 will be filled by Barrow. So even if everything goes to shit re relegation/promotion from the leagues above, we値l still go up. Some good whining and whinging by those yellow fuckers, too. Already on about the 6 points they値l get next season if they fuck up the POs. |

Some jolly chaps might nip along to their play-off games with some red smokebombs

See port vale in 8th voted to end the season on ppg, knowing it would mean they miss the play offs. Good of them

Most of league 2 seems to have acted very grown up, even the stevenage chairman was quite pragmatic about things, none of the melodramatic dick waving which seems to characterise L1. |

I agree. But to a degree that's reflection of the very tight promotion race in League 1. We've been among a clutch of stand out sides in League 2 this season, so lots less to argue over. |

Sure she's been on elsewhere but randomly heard her on the Today program this morning (8.30ish if anybody wants to rewind). But yeah. Very pragmatic and sensible. |

I知 not sure their previous owner Norman Smurthwaite would have acted the same somehow. The big fat mess of a man.

To be blunt, the huge majority of clubs in our division could not carry on financially. Wasn't it 140,000 just to do the testing?
Like Port Vale, I imagine we would have been the same in their position having to face up to the fact we couldn't afford to play games behind closed doors.
The huge economic burden is bad enough at the best of times let alone when you're all coughing on each other.

I think the BBC mentioned that Parry relayed to L1 and L2 clubs that it would cost ｣400,000 to finish the 9 or 10 final games of 2019-20.
Clubs like Port Vale can't bluff like, say, Dale Vince who could use his wealth to see out season which would probably be a pointless endeavour for him. But he can make noise.
There are some L1 clubs who can afford the cost or bluff to the point that they can kick up a stink.
As I've said from the start. There will be outrage, threats of legal action and then the season will end accordingly.

Sorry for all the seperate quotes I haven't been on the TEF since this was announced so catching up now. Hearing Macclesfield May have a further points deduction
Any points reduction now should be carried over to next season IMO, any that have been dished out since the league stopped, the excuse the pun, its pointless to deduct them points when there is no relegation this season. Well, if we had god on our side...
Sometimes slips of the finger are great! oo err missus! Has anyone ever won the league after finishing second before?
I was thinking exactly the same thing, trivia question for the future. Even if Juventus did it in Italy then we can say "In England*". Best football for years. Club on the up. Top Manager.
Well worth it.
This. Loving the fact Port Vale miss out on the play-offs as well, they were a right bunch of pricks in both games.
Their owner Carol Shanahan was on BBC news this morning and was very humble in saying that her team after PPG fell just outside the play offs but was willing to accept her sadness for the good of L2, she was quite upset but admitted it was the fairest solution. |
