It won't be tight.. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas, unless all those clubs in the national league want to risk being non league for ever

If we were in the relegation zone we would know it's game over

My mate Ian. Well lets see if he is right.

He uses the term null and void as if its a default position. As if the failure of this vote means that clubs have to void the season. In actual fact the clubs would have to vote for null and void just like they'd have to vote for any other solution. What on earth makes Ian Dennis think that there would be a majority for that either? Or perhaps he doesn't really think this and it is just something controversial to tweet.

Those thinking about null and void would have to seriously consider the ramifications of such a decision on the future relationship between the NL and the EFL. I dont see how the EFL would not exact punishment on the NL's future promotion prospects whilst at the same time taking at least one or (if Macclesfield are expelled) two of its clubs to balance its numbers. In one sense null and void would be the fairest outcome at this stage because just about everybody would lose.

He's a journalist. He has to build the tension even though we all know whose going to leave the Bake Off tent.
It all comes 'round again.

Click bait. Say the thing which will get the biggest response. Standard journalistic tactic.

as expected Notts have confirmed they are voting yes;-

https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/20 ... gbELX2e1RQ

The statement reads: "We will be voting in support of the National League’s Ordinary Resolution which, if passed, would see us compete in a play-off competition to determine who joins champions-elect Barrow in winning promotion to League Two.

Could be a friendly source for NL to plant stories. "Vote for this or it could become null & void.."

We are going up... as league champions.

Question is, how’s everyone celebrating after the news on Thursday?

Can't see them keeping that quiet tomorrow do you !

Just hope the club get loads of merchandise to celebrate and make some much needed funds!
