Check out the interview I did yesterday with the Non League Show on the below link ... 16.50 onwards is me, but the first 16 odd mins are worth listening too ... I'm on for a while ... some say i chat too much ... so free up an hour or so over a coffee or lunch ... The CEO of Darlo is on after me later in the show too.

Excellent as always AP . If anyone knows how or if the season will end suggestions on a post card to the powers that be. What came across to me was that most of the social media hype is down to lack of direct communication from NL FA or whoever is responsible ( its lost on me ) .
Suggested scenario v1.1
Outcome of Vote 1- Step 1 separate from Step 2,
Outcome of Vote 2- Step 1 continues
Outcome of Vote 3- Step 2 Null & Void
Step 2 ends, results expunged.
Those clubs who voted N&V (cannot / do not wish to) continue so wait for whatever outcome is decided in due course.
Those clubs who voted to continue Step 2 reform either a new NLN - NLS or an NL2 with continued promotion to Step 1 allowing Step 1 to retain relegation to whatever outcome is decided in due course.
March to May is 14 weeks so room for 28 matches (max 2 a week).
Assuming the vote goes to the wire, one 11 team league (20 fixtures per club, 110 fixtures total) and one 10 team league (18 fixtures per club, 90 fixtures total). PPG threshold for first is 83 matches total, for second 68 matches total.
Or even 3 leagues of 7, geographical basis, 12 matches per club, 42 total, 32 match PPG threshold.
Well worth listening to and the fact the National League can’t even be bothered to be interviewed sums it all up. I’m not sure they could have handled the mess any worse than they have. Apart from sending clubs bullying letters they just refuse to engage with the clubs on both sides of the fence. Alex do you have any idea how clubs can force people to resign if it is possible at all?
I think clubs as members ... could do a vote of no confidence yes ...

That is surely something all clubs could agree on.
Not sure what sacking the board would achieve, to be replaced by whom and with what experience of running a league system? I’m not a fan, but to my knowledge none of them own frozen food importers in China so they cannot and should not shoulder all the blame.

No one is blaming them for covid but they are to blame for letting the season start under false pretences. That is all their fault and if they had been honest from the start we wouldn’t be in the mess we are now and we could have seen out the season with the clubs who wanted and were able to play.

Maybe they were honest, as honest as far as they understood the situation. I imagine the meeting was fast paced as is the way of these things, and perhaps they honestly thought the message conveyed to them was as they conveyed to clubs. I think calling them a bunch of liars is bang out of order.
