Ollie Bayliss is keeping a running tally. Whilst there are not many who have publicly declared how they have voted, others have previously stated they want to the season to continue e.g. Altrincham.
The North is heading towards being void, but the South is neck and neck. Could we be in a situation where one step 2 league stops and the other carries on, and what would be the fallout of that?

I don’t think that’s possible under resolution 3 is it? North and South vote together, so if majority for culling between both leagues they’re done. Or am I reading it wrong? I guess the only way that could happen (unless I’m reading it wrong which is easily done) is the leagues voting all together in resolution 4 and saying we will continue, and then the north league just having too many clubs who turn around and say ‘nah, not having that, we’re not playing’.

A large majority of the National North and South games scheduled for this weekend have now been postponed because of all this..

I couldn't see the league agreeing to continue one Step 2 division but not the other. That would throw up all sorts of complications.

The Gloucester chairman has also tweeted on this.
Some discussion re grants not loans in the same thread

I don’t usually get involved with off the field issues, however reading what the Dover chairman had to say leaves me with one very simple point for anyone on the football ⚽️ committees be that club or league.
When you sat down and looked at this season (2020/21) why did you not plan the whole season, rather than the first three months.
And if there was no plan after three months don’t start the season.
I really don’t know where Dover are in the league table because I only pay attention to our next opponent and which team or teams are above us but I am 1000% sure if Dover were looking down on everyone rather than up this chap would never have resigned.

Dover have also spent a large part of the season bottom of the table. It is in their interest for the league to be abandoned. |

The NL need to get a hold of this.
Publish the results and do it now and let’s crack on.
Clubs like Dover, Wealdstone and whoever else will start gathering pace because as we all know the noisy few in whatever walk of life for some reason make so much noise....

With Wealdstone voting to end the season, what the chance of them following Dover and not playing the game at Sutton on Saturday?
