Apparently NL clubs voted against taking individual loans, the NL taking out the loan and voted against suspending the season.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse.

Sounds a bit like they are going to try and get the cash from the money tree at the bottom of the garden.

SC stated that if the season finished now  and NL NLN & NLS clubs Furloughed their players for three months it would cost the Gov 16.5m

Came on in the 74th minute tonight in Harrogate’s away game at Salford for his debut.

Can see Jarv getting a rest with maybe Carey coming in.  Like you KES can see the new lad starting on the left side in place of Barrows. 

Is McAuley back from suspension?  Bench should look very strong.

Wasn’t IC no 2 to John Still at The Daggers as well ?  I bet Still didn’t throw him under the bus like another Manager he worked with.   What goes around comes around.

The National League Board meets tomorrow to discuss the way forward.
 
Havant & Waterlooville, Concord Rangers & Slough Town have all said they don’t intend to play on Saturday.
 
At least 15 other clubs have also told the League they'd prefer to suspend the season.

How will that work KES if the League take out an 11m loan, to be paid back against reduced payments to each club over X number of years.   There will be teams coming up from step 3 and EFL leagues coming down who will be saddled with paying towards a debt they had no benefit from ?

You think the Chairmen of the step 1 & 2 Clubs will worry about that?   

I think the NL have made a right balls up by allowing the season to even start with only a 3 month commitment from the Gov to offer support.  Will they want to make even more Cocks up by saddling future members with debt that is not their responsibility?

Be interesting to hear Stephen Cleeve’s thoughts on the situation and whether he is happy to have more debt bestowed on the club.  We are not going to gain promotion and prob not going to suffer relegation, so it’s really a nothing season for us.

Significant National League meetings will take place this afternoon:

Mark Ives, the interim General Manager of the National League, will meet with clubs from each division.

They’ll gauge opinions on whether clubs are willing to take on loans in order to continue the season.

If no money is forthcoming will there be any fixtures played this Saturday or will a halt before called ?

If you think back to last season before the Season went  to PPG we went through a real sticky patch which coincided with Marriott having a lean time in front of goal.   Then the injury he picked up pre season saw him miss the start of this season.  When he did return there was no Gash to play off.   

So for me a combination of things.  Maybe, just maybe the step up has proved much tougher for him.  Not as many chances coming his way and defenders being that little bit better than in NLN.
