rncaa Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 What is hurting clubs and threatening some existance is whoever is running this not coming to grips with reality of this situation the total lack of leadership is breathtaking . This season should have been written off to save everyone the time, money, hassle, of trying to get a half arsed season done during a pandemic at non league level . The longer the pretence goes on the bigger the risk to clubs existance will be. If some go to the wall it will be due to people not realising the severity of the situation society is in the now even those who don't realise must be able to see the way things are heading we will be in and out of semi lock down for the next few months therefore making non league football total pie in the sky. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what was said the Conferences will also been changed but that hasn't been confirmed as to how it will be done. Which is probably one of the factors in delaying an official announcement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye coz in forth valley 1213 cases over 7 months of a population of 300000 people is a reason to stop us playing games. Go and crawl back under the rock you've came from. Localised lockdown will happen in areas and it's in high built up areas mostly cities. Glasgow and Aberdeen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeforchange Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 In March when the new league set ups were being proposed our club suggested delaying the new league set up for 1 season to allow everybody to see how it was going to pan out . They voted for a 20 team top league not knowing when they could restart. With it being entirely a new set and for sporting integrity reasons that should have been enough for them to decide there was no rush but we lost out. Now the league and conference set ups look like being altered again so again moving the goalposts for most clubs. In order for most to survive let everybody play all local sectional like cup sections which puts nobody under any pressure next to nothing travelling etc and when fans are allowed back in all local games hopefully would be busy enough to let all clubs survive and keep running costs minimal to allow everybody to get ready for next season and try to get as much upgrades in place as possible does that not seem to be the fairest way. Come on guys let’s give this a bit of thought and take the pressure off everybody. Just playing locally etc gives all the office bearers off the new league set up a bit of leeway with trying to get the new set up organised without any issues and maybe having to stop and start again. Anybody else think this could happen ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Think the 28 game season could be just for one season, whether that includes any promotions at the end is another point. Will the 28 be Saturday only ? Fully expect fans to be allowed, otherwise there's no point starting. Hopefully things will work out, and all clubs can benefit financially. Expect players contracts to be on a game basis, when the season starts, anything different would be suicide for clubs. Can't wait for a start date asap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody else think this could happen ? Maybe it will happen but I doubt it. You raise travelling and your right that we need to reduce that but as Darvel Legend raised rightly above that most teams will have players travelling from many different areas so moving to a local sectional cup will only reduce travel a little bit. A final decision by SG/SFA with dates and a contingency plan from the league need to be made now to allow clubs and supporters to know what the plans are for this season. We have had SG and UK government announce today that they will review the plans to have fans back at game, personally I take that it will be delayed and maybe into next year going by the comments of the CMO for England. If that is the case we can’t have the games going ahead as clubs will be financially damaged by this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Boris Karloff's latest 'joy of 6' comments don't apply to playing sports (am I wrong ?) so therefore the English non league game can continue with the 150-300 crowd limits, not heard any problems yet. Surely the same argument could apply to the Scottish non league with similar restrictions on crowd numbers ? Any idea when a provisional fixture list would come out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about the WoS, however the EoS is this Monday, with the LL & SoS around the same time.
