Oh I totally agree. Thoroughly deserved to go up as champions - just feel a bit for the players and fans who don't get that final whistle moment and pitch parade. |

Even though it's not written in stone. I'm getting messy tonight. To be fair though I would have anyway. |

It does feel quite an anticlimax. But better go up as champions even in this weird way than having the season voided which was being mooted by some. Can't even really celebrate even this until it's confirmed/ratified by the League and the FA, and presumably that will have to wait till League One sort themselves out. |

From that BBC
'It is understood League Two clubs were in collective agreement that current bottom club, Stevenage, should not be relegated.
Owner Phil Wallace told BBC Sport: “My preference is to finish the league so we have the opportunity to play our way out of trouble.
“We have 10 games to play and are three points behind, with a game in hand, why should I think it was not possible to get out of it?
“The League Two clubs cannot decide this. We can only tell the EFL of their indicative position but that is the collective view.
“It would cost us £140,000 for the tests, we would have to bring players out of furlough and comply with a 47-page health and safety document regarding sterilisation of stadiums etc.
“I don’t know what this would mean for the National League.”'
Could they not just bring up Basra and 1 other to replace Macc and Bury to get us back to 92?

I think a practical unfairness of playing on might have been that whilst some clubs would have kept players (and fitness) others would be unable to do so and especially for behind closed doors, meaningless games. Cheltenham aside, we might have benefited from a lack of 6 pointers.  Like others, wd luv to see Exeter up with us |
