southportfc.net/southport-fc-sanctioned/The NL just don't know when to stop digging, do they? What do they think they're achieving by fining clubs for not fulfilling fixtures in a null and void season? Surely this confirms just how unfit for purpose this board are and there needs to be a big effort to get them removed the problem is the NL as they have all the voting rights and are looked after by the biased (or possibly corrupt) board

Your opinions about this issue completely contradict your posts on the off-topic. Incidentally Dover Athletic’s punishment looks like this: This seasons results expunged from the record. Start next season with a 12-point deduction. £40,000 fine. Yes, all three. Dulwich Hamlet in NLS get an £8,000 fine and start next season with an eight-point deduction. 16 teams punished in all.

He seems to switch off his ideology when it comes to football governance, that’s all.

On the Dover situation Alty reckon it will cost them 200k to play out the season but Dover by refusing to play have only lost 40k and the 12 points is nothing in a 40 game season.

Completely idiotic , fining clubs when the season has been suspended for not playing fixtures. They are completely inept and unfit for purpose.A collective Fans protest to force the clowns out, anyone?

Did we decline to play any matches and if so have we received a sanction? Can’t find a reference to the names of the 16 second tier clubs affected.

Our game at Kettering was called off but that was their decision. Our home game against Fylde was postponed because of the weather. Fylde were one of the most aggressive clubs about continuing the season and even felt it necessary to send staff to oversee the pitch inspection, and they agreed it was unplayable. So I think we're OK. But I'd still hope we'd support the rumoured vote of no confidence, which is not before time.

DCMS has announced 20 National League clubs will receive an additional £6.8m through a combination of loan and grant funding.
In addition, £3.1m has been awarded in grants for clubs at Steps 3-6 (below our league) of the National League System.

Be interesting to see which National league clubs got grants

Interesting that only 1 club out of 19 got a grant, the rest loans, in the first round of applications. Wonder if it is similar this time round, and if any club has been successful twice?

I imagine we along with most of the other clubs the league will, I imagine we'll see a statement from the club shortly stating the stance were taking on it. Everyone knows the NL board have been inept at their job and with how the grants were dished out we can see they're not impartial or fair. The fact the independent review wasnt made public, that alone should be enough to see them out of the door.

Fully support this stance. Probably needs a clean sweep. The clever bit will be identifying those individuals within clubs who have the time, skills, and collective responsibility so that good decisions are made without the fear of self interest.

Assuming an EGM is forced - will it be one club one vote or weighted to NLN - and then will it just require a simple majority ?
I'm guessing a fair few NLN/NLS clubs will be keen to sling them out. Not sure whether the NLN clubs will be.

Is it too much to hope that this £6m will go to the clubs that where shafted in the first tranche of Grants
Hope we back the vote of no confidence. Must have a chance of a least getting the vote with only 10%? of clubs required

I refer to the first tranche of money allocated for average crowds. The money that was misappropriated by the NL board and distributed wrongly

"Chester FC can confirm our support for the proposal put forward by Maidstone United and seconded by Dorking Wanderers requesting the National League hold an EGM to consider and vote on the resolution of no confidence in the Chairman and the Board. While we acknowledge the last 12 months have presented unprecedented challenges, it is our belief the Board of the National League has failed to demonstrate adequate leadership during this time of crisis. We also consider the lack of transparency in respect of its actions and decisions, and its communication and engagement with member clubs falls well below the standards that could reasonably be expected. In supporting this motion, we hope this opportunity will be used to address the significant governance, democratic and accountability weaknesses that exist within the National League and act as a precursor for the wider reforms that are needed for the future of English football."

I honestly can't think of anything the club has done wrong since the pandemic hit us. Under unprecedented challenges, everything has been carefully measured, well thought out, and professionally and respectfully expressed. That are a lot of organisations that could take a leaf out of the club's book on how to handle a situation like this.
It's all very un-Chester, historically! It makes me realise that while Conference North isn't where I want us to be forever, I've never been so proud of what the club is, does, and stands for.
