NL board to decide early next week

[legs77]

We were 10 points behind Rochdale at this stage in 2010. Relatively speaking, we have a Muntoeaque squad for this level, so I would say the odds would be very favourable with the form we were in, winning our last game 4-0 and beating the top team away from home.

I'm annoyed at how easily we're conceding defeat over this. I expect Barrow fans to make their own case but not our own to make a case for them.

Who is conceding defeat the season is done its already been decided by the NL.

Our only chance is if they do the play offs if not we 100% are not going up.

My opinion from the start has ALWAYS been to complete the season even if it takes till December but that is not going to happen.

All im saying is if one team goes up it has to be Barrow that is the sporting thing to do.

The munto season means nothing that was played over 46 games we know this one isn't.

Right, so we as a club, as supporters, need to push for that, demand it and not "let's just hand it to Barrow".
If there's only one place up for grabs then Barrow should be made to play-off for it. They are not in Liverpool's position. It's a four point difference including a game still to play against the side right behind them.

Yeah i'm sure our owners will be fighting to give us a chance of going up.

The problem is we are going to get out voted and as fans we have zero say on what happens it is out of our hands.

I mean what exactly can we do other than vent anger on social media which the NL won't care about.

We need to make a stink about this. Encourage the owners that they have our backing to do whatever they can to get the NL/FL to compromise, otherwise the leagues will just go for the easy option.

I read that as them saying that if there is only one promotion place, Barrow will get it.

For certain, but they haven't come out and said it directly because they're testing the water. It's up to us, Harrogate, Yeovil etc. to say "We do not accept that premise, we believe that it would only be fair to play off for that one promotion spot and we will be consulting our lawyers."

With Boreham Wood saying today they don't want play offs and that happened could only really be either;-
Harrogate v Notts - or Harrogate v Winner of Notts V Yeovil. (assuming 2 promotion places).
IF there is only 1 place i would expect the EFL to go down the invite route as it rules out any legal challenges.

We've both played 13 games since Christmas Day. Harrogate have played 11.

1.Notts County 13 8 3 2 21 8 +13 27
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2.Harrogate T. 11 8 2 1 22 8 +14 26
3.Barrow 13 6 5 2 22 12 +10 23
4.Dover Ath. 14 6 3 5 19 16 +3 21
5.Sutton Utd 12 5 5 2 18 10 +8 20
6 Boreham Wood 11 5 5 1 17 11 +6 20
7.Hartlepool U. 14 5 5 4 18 16 +2 20

You have made a good case that if Barrow aren't promoted, it should be Harrogate!

You're living in a fantasy world, the only way we will go up is it they hold play-offs. They won't and we won't.

[magpie_mania]

If the NL season is expunged then Barrow have got as much claim to promotion as Chorley. If at least part of the next season is to be played in front of paying spectators then I'd be very confident L2 clubs won't be wanting to sit out any weekends because there's an odd number of teams, they'll want 24 for maximum income.
Maybe expunging the 2019/20 season will strengthen our case.

What do you base our case on?
