Where are they with sorting promotion from the National?

Presumably Barrow up, but then will it be Harrogate v Notts for the other place or involve all six playoff teams I wonder? If so then get BWFC v BWFC on for next year (failing that, Notts as I can get a bus)

Halifax would be good.

NL apparently meeting tomorrow but there's fears they wont be able to start next season without fans so it might dictate what happens re. who comes up and how many teams. Need an additional club to come up to get it back to 92, I can see Barrow coming up and Stevenage surviving if rest of NL cant carry on. Horrible situation.

Final table

Image

Trivial, and pointless moan, but if thats the final table that the EFL are stating, they gave us more than a 12 point deduction.

our final total should be (((14+12)/34)*44)-12 = 21.64

 

Theiving bastards have deducted us another 3.5 points.

malc sed similar when bury got pushed away .. we got penalized more per game .. 

0.272 v 0.260 points per game 

i think it works out that over a full normal season we'd have been penalized just over half a point too much. 

works out even worse now, because 0.26 x 34 is about -8.8 points or -9.27 if bury were still alive or not. so thats 3 or 4 points too much like you said ( the twelve points deduction ).. funny in a way. 

tranmeres record was generally worse than wimbledons. more loses , less draws, crap goal difference too. maybe that added to it. 

just let it lie and hope no one looks more into anything.

Surely there's fears that none of us can start the season without fans?  In theory its cheaper for them as wages are (generally) lower.  I dont understand how the likes of Accrington, Macclesfield and Wimbledon can afford EFL wages, plus costs, to play games without fans.  How are they different to non league who have less maintenance costs?

Tranmere got to play our kids.  Wimbledon had to play our strongest XI twice.  They deserve to go down the horrible Scouse gits.

Dont see why we cant have crowds at our home games.  10000 in a 28000 capacity stadium.  Should be enough for social distancing, no?

However much they get from TV etc, its only what they get every season.  So any club that was living hand to mouth last season now has to pay similar wages etc , but without the usual gate income not to mention corporate stuff,  sponsors and merchandise etc .  I want to think its workable but I just cant see it.

I think we could get away with it, a third of capacity is a reasonable assumption for all seater stadiums.  Cant see terraces being allowed to open, eg Carlisle with their big terraces on 2 sides.  I think we could also do with the government reducing the 2 metre rule to 1.5 at least (I'm talking purely from a football viewpoint, not saying they should, we have to avoid a 2nd spike obviously).  Then maybe capacity could be about half and it would give small clubs a chance.

well especially if just one tier is designated for those (elderly, medically vulnerable or living with such; or plain paranoid) who need to distance. For that entrance you could have markings by the turnstiles (get there early would be the suggestion) and in the concourse, a marked off corridor from turnstile to seats and directions to fill rows from the centre outwards. Limit the numbers (tickets in advance, no STs and no demanding exactly what seat you sit in on any given day) and no concourse catering. So placate old cocks and those concerned because of their health issues or worried about the issues of those those back at their house.  ESU or WSL would be fine for this.

I just posted in COVID thread but might apply here in the end too, zoos just confirmed they're opening from 15th after originally being prohibited (London Zoo got involved today, hmm).

Get them pubs and them stadiums open.
