Now that a deadline has been put in place,sanctions etc, just wish clubs could get 200+ into grounds to help them through. No doubt massive Xmas crowds will scramble in the shops asap, will never understand it ! My opinion is that if we get some more games played before the end of the year - then we can look in January to see IF the season can end.

I did wonder whether the amateurs were allowed to play, down here in Bristol the lockdown has stopped everyone - the parks level had been playing, ok with a few cases, those clubs then had to stop for 10 days I think. Can only guess the governments love affair with the 'elite' is either coz of testing OR the dreaded £££. This sounds absolute nonsense up in Scotland

Sounds like a decent clubman to me, obviously made the decision on health grounds, trying to protect. Best wishes for a recovery, can imagine many committees are split over to play or not.

There's no way of saying this without sounding sarcastic - but there would be little point in deducting points from a League table they will be removed from. So it will obviously be from the following season.
Don't mind sarcasm
hadn't read the sanctions etc so came out with the question,obvious now ! As the headmaster said 'must try harder' Am still learning.

I believe that the season will finish around June, would there be a rejig in the Conference's to allow for any promotions and relegations in 20/21 ? Maybe next season will have to be slightly different in set up etc just to get organised. Is the 12 pts being carried over to 21/22 ?

Been to Large twice, excellent ground in a great setting. Not sure of the whole story re streaming, but this ain't Sky Sports, most clubs are trying their best to keep fans in the picture and film games. Expect the cameraman
also doubles up as committee man or something, keep up the good work. Who'd have thought even 1 year ago, folk would grumble about non league 'streaming' games.

Am sure that most clubs believe they are doing the right things for the present and hopefully the future. Even if players get just £50 a game x 15 that's over £750 needed for every game, scary enough with no income through the gate. Be interesting when things return to normal, what state some clubs are in. Was hoping for fans back in January, not so confident now.

Also 3 or 4 players (all different households) travelling in the same car to games and training
The English FA said that was ok IF you all had masks on
and had the car windows open ! Childish I believe.

Would like to see the science that shows a massive rise in cases after playing football etc - probably doesn't exist. Seeing the English government argue, shows that Boris has made the wrong decision this time. Good luck in Scotland, hope they let the game continue as long as possible.Can understand the 25,000+ crowds gathering, but not comparable to non league games. Already had crowds of 600 down south with no problems.

We are already in a tier or level system in Scotland. What you on about?
What I'm on about are the tiers in football if that answers your question, wth the so called elite allowed to continue BCD. Still waiting for guidance in England from the FA, looks like steps 3-6 are stopped. Not sure of step 7 and parks level stuff yet.

Don't disappear just yet please ! The stupid lockdown will stop me getting a game on Sat, so I'll be looking to stream a game from Scotland if possible so keep this thread going until the weekend at least !

Stuff the La La Liga, let's have Scottish non league on Sky/BT instead ! Hope the lockdown doesn't cross the border and put a halt to things again , after the clubs had done so much just to get restarted again.

Any news about the lunatic lockdown affecting the game in Scotland ? Looks like we're gonna miss out again down in England, already rumours of clubs wanting to pull out / some leagues now worried that it's nothing until 2021, BUT the FA Cup can go ahead this weekend, ridiculous.

Are all the people in the background committee folk etc, or just lucky that they could find a way of spectating from distance ? Excellent photos too.

Good photos and highlights coming through from Scotland, just let the teams keep playing eh . No stupid lockdowns and then a mad dash reopening just for Christmas
Spread the virus, smash the shops and pubs, then reopen again, farcical stuff. Will definitely stream a game midweek if I can sort things , sounds like you're doing a great job keeping fans interested.

Calm down kids, congratulations on all the clubs who are giving the season a chance, NO slagging of clubs who declined for whatever reason not to start up. Just a pity that there wouldn't be promotions at the end (if it finishes) of the season - I still see it as a proper season, rather than glorified friendlies.

You having a giraffe ?
Must be an English thing, can remember clubs moaning about pitch sizes even at amateur levels. Have only seen speedway at Ashfield, and know they keep doing work on the track - so can't recall whether the pitch is narrow. Cracking pic of Eastville with the famous Tote End

When I first saw the pitch sizes many years ago, I thought the minimum was for youth games - came in handy with my long throw ins ! Can remember watching Bristol Rovers at Eastville while the Bristol speedway was there, and the pitch didn't look wide enough to me. Guessing there's some leeway towards Berwick and Cowden, do clubs ever complain ?

Been there a few times, really good ground that could be improved to a good standard. Always friendly people to chat to, good club. Find somewhere else to stick your housing, if that's what it is.

Sour grapes ? Let's forget last season's chaotic ending - was never gonna please everyone. Moving forward, (license permitting) all champions go up automatically, then hopefully 21/22 will be close to normal again. The new WOSFL should be part run by the clubs, or at least have a say in how it's run by those above. Always thought the Juniors were a tight knitted bunch, got my doubts sometimes. Fans back by January my guess.

Really think that the rulers will relax the dressing room restrictions to allow games to carry on during the winter months. As we are all football fans then I guess everyone is helping on donate a ticket, streaming games etc - or just sitting back waiting for everything to go wrong (while they visit the pub of course) Expect most players were just glad to get back on the park ,playing the game they love. The pessimists must be a joy to live with (not just on here)

Some of the bigger clubs at that National league level would be full time or more likely to have full time employees?
Yeah think there are still quite a few ex EFL clubs staying full time, don't know if that warrants getting more money or not - guess all clubs need help at the moment.

Always gonna be difficult in a shortened/curtailed season to promote or relegate. Is there a possibility that the LL could increase numbers for next season ? , and then do a normal promotion and relegation at end of 21/22. Guess most leagues will try to keep every club almost happy
