It looks highly likely that the season will be ended, it's just what is done with promotions and relegation.

from a Non Notts point of view i think ending the season has gone - when they announced the 3 week extension yesterday they also hinted at the overall period still being 3 months - so finishing this season is out.

When the league was originally suspended many hoped it would be a month tops and we'd be playing again, but we all no better now - there's no realistic chance of matches before August/September.

I think the vote will almost certainly go to ending the season - although you might get one team trying to hold out until the 7th May deadline out of principle.

IF the BBC numbers are correct and there are 10 in favour of ending, 10 undecided and 4 wanting to play on in the National League Premier then then even if the 10 undecided all voted to continue it would only take a 6-2 vote to abandon in NLN and NLS for a 16-16 tie and the deciding vote goes to the league who would back their own proposal. We already know there is no relegation from NLS and NLN so there's every chance that will go 6-2...

Then it's just a matter of waiting to find out what happens next.

Pick up the season again next February; until then, schedule special championships as soon as football is unbanned.

If this can happen, I would favour it myself.

I want to say wait until Summer, but the way I feel at times they might as well just end it now.

Oh oh oh ohhhhh, everywhere where we go, watching super County putting on a show!

Complete it as it is, allow for things to move forward. There's been enough flapping around as it is now.

Allow clubs to salvage what they can and start to prepare in order to move forward.

@TheSkipper It won't take as long as 3 weeks - contracts end at the end of April in the National League, so the clubs will want to avoid a situation where they let go of a large part of their playing staff, only to be told the league is restarting in June or July.

It shouldn't, but I can't see them making the decision until the lockdown is extended again.

Option 1 is out then. The contracts ending in April meant that waiting until the summer was never really an option. Whether the season is voided or promotion awarded (I think @chipmunx might have an opinion on that one), don't think that's the end of it - without a vaccine, I fear next season will be hard hit too.

If clubs start going bust, we might even end up back in the League by default. I don't want that at all - I want to return in a blaze of glory, not at the stroke of a pen.

yep - of course I have ;) 

I agree with your comments on next season - it could well end up being a February to November season in 2021 (and again in 2022 - partly due to the world cup),

By the time football starts again though i can see Barrow, Harrogate, Notts and maybe Yeovil being all in the league for the next season.
