I get the feeling the leagues could be suspended for a number of months which could take too long to correct over time.

As annoying as it would be to see the season cancelled completely, there is life outside of football and the squad assembled by Ardley should grow in confidence more.

It's really sunk in now with me that this isn't likely go away even by the end of April.

People are still not listening to the guidelines and this could further impact football, I'd be really annoyed with these selfish people if the leagues get cancelled completely. It's looking very unlikely that this will die down, it could be around when it's my birthday and that just pushes everything further back.

Looks like the season may be cancelled nul and void.  

I get the feeling it will cancel this season but i do hope not... Notts got so close.

This virus outbreak first made news,as far as I'm aware,at the end of December.It's now almost the end of March.3 months and it still looks like the situation will get worse before it gets better.,so we will be well into July at the earliest before we can even think about resuming 'normal' everyday life.The logical resumption ,to me,would be to have  a sort of 'pre-season'  sometime in August /September to get players up to speed and then resume football with the completion of  the 8 or 9 league games plus the outstanding cup games from this season.Of course this would mean the cancellation of the 2020/2021 and would leave what would have been the the climax of that season without any fixtures.It would though,be more fair for the teams curently in promotion places,(Notts included} than having this season declared null and void.

The National League held back suspending matches, but could be the first to make the whole campaign nul and void. Crazy!

The National League need to make their own decision without the FA pressing for what they want.

It does look like the leagues will be null and voided.

The FA has today announced all football leagues below the National League (Our league & the North/South divs) have been abandoned. No promotions. No relegations. The results from this season effectively count for nothing and they'll all be in the same leagues when the new season commences.

Some teams like Jersey Bulls & Vauxhall Motors had already won promotion before the league was suspended, how is that fair? I don't know why they needed to make the decision so soon.  

National League hopes to be able to resume at some point. No decision has been made about the FA Trophy (and Vase).

@menzinho The chance of football being played again in our league is zilch. In China it took months to get it under control, and they acted much sooner. Added to that, in the NL most players' contracts run out at the end of April. I doubt we'll be seeing any football before autumn.

Every option is a bad one. Relegation is a non-starter - I know Stevenage are well adrift, but if we're doing relegation we have to be even-handed, and that means relegating teams like Charlton, who are two points off safety with a quarter of the season to go. How is that fair? And regarding promotion, the teams just outside automatic promotion are denied their chance - in League One there are just three points between 2nd and 8th place.

If that were after 46 games, fair enough. But the fundamental problem with accepting the current table as the final one is that the season is not finished, meaning that some teams have had easier fixtures, some have had more home games, etc. Rotherham might just be ahead of the pack because their harder games are yet to come.

If the EFL and NL decide to recognise promotion but not relegation, we could still benefit. If the teams in the automatic promotion places go up, you'd end up with 24 teams in the Championship, 24 in League One and 22 in League Two. So we could be asked to make up the numbers. But - and this will sound harsh - Barrow haven't (yet) earned promotion with their 70 points, let alone us with 63. On measure I'd prefer the promotion-but-no-relegation solution even if we miss out, but just voiding the season would probably be more even-handed. It'll be crap for someone whatever happens.

I am sure there's something reasonable that can be done, I actually feel Barrow was falling personally and if they gained automatic promotion it wouldn't seem right. At the same time I respect how well they have done, but I would say the same if it was Notts instead.

I don't see why the National League are delaying publicly saying what might or will happen, as far as I can see they could be asking for the teams to help choose what happens. Rather than the FA butting in and telling them what's what.

I don't want it to be cancelled

But I do want people to be safe

The National League can't keep their thoughts in the dark, they must speak to the clubs and ensure the right decision is made.
