Stockport game

This now distorts the NL imo as some teams are going to be allowed 2k in which for Barnet is a full gate.

It is completely unfair now some have fans but some dont gives a slight advantage to southern teams.

A club like Boreham Wood could benefit hugely from this, as they only averaged 725 last season. If they are allowed 2,000 tickets and enough big club fans are desperate to see a live game (as has happened in tiers 7 and 8), it's possible they could sell out, getting nearly three times their usual crowd. It all makes a bit of a mockery of the compensation they've had for supposed loss of gate money!

I think your comments are valid Elite. When the financial support was divided between the National,League clubs, it did not appear to have been done equitably. Sadly, the National League Management Board leave a lot to be desired and appear to me as amateurs doing a professional job.

The compensation was a mockery long before today's announcement.

I guess what Elite is saying also is do Boreham Wood still keep the bail out money ??

You can clearly see a north v south divide with todays news.

There is a NL meeting tomorrow and a members meeting next week. I would expect that those in Tier 3 will definitely still get the monthly financial support. It will be interesting to see how they deal with those clubs that can have fans back in. Knowing the NL they will still use the tier system to differentiate between the amount of financial support a club gets regardless of fan base.

So, Boreham Wood, Tier 2 will probably sell out and still get finacial support. If it was Notts in tier 2, they let 2k fans in and get the same financial support as say BW . . . absolutely bonkers but let's wait and see.

So it looks like Dagenham next week will be our first game in front of a crowd since March. Kings Lynn on Boxing Day can also have 2,000 - be surprised if quite a few Notts fans don’t try to sneak into that one.

As well as the financial side, there’s also the fact that some clubs will have the psychological benefit of playing in front of their own fans, while others won’t. Not exactly a level playing field.
