There will be relegation from Football League

[Woodypie]

Presumably just one from League 2. There will be play offs too.

one relegated from L2 = two promoted from NL

So what now for the National League? We should expect them to follow suit - Which would mean Barrow up and Notts able to play for the other position, which we'd presumably all be satisfied with.

I don't feel it's fair that Barrow go straight up, they should play off too, but the important thing would be that we still have a chance to play for honours. So we'd now concentrate our energy on that.

It may not be fair but it’s the only way. The EFL are doing the same and there will be teams that miss out on promotion, play offs and having a chance to avoid relegation. It is what it is. The realistic alternatives that were being touted was the leagues all being void or relegation not happening. So we should be thankful that we get a crack, assuming we do.

Agree, UptheMagpies it's not right that Barrow are in line for automatic promotion.
A team I seem to remember Notts beat 0-3.

They beat us 0-3. We beat them 0-2.

[macse15]

They beat us 0-3. We beat them 0-2.

I hardly think beating Notts 3-0 once gives an entitlement to promotion any way

I agree entirely. NL need to grow a pair and decide. If China's guess is right, FL are conspiring to send Macclesfield down, I don't think NL would be too keen on taking them.

IF it's Macclesfield coming down then i can see them getting put straight into NLN as Boston were when they came out of the EFL. that would also mean 2 spare places in the NL so the PPG champs of NLN and NLS would come up. IF the NL follows the EFL lead on relegation then if Macclesfield go to NLN then only Chorley and Fylde would go down and the top 2 of each NLN and NLS would come up - which would include York City. IF Stevenage come down though it would be 3 down from the NL with Chorley, Fylde and Ebbsfleet going down.

I know there's another thread on Macclesfields new charges - but this is looking increasingly like coming true now.
