Arthurlie1981 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Arthurlie withdrawing for the season. Not surprised and the right thing to do imo. It’s too much of a gamble. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the teams not playing in league will struggle to keep players for next year ? If they do keep players they will have went a year with no games ? Do the 14 teams play pointless friendlies against each other every week ? Surely players will either go to teams still playing or just stop playing ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can totally understand teams pulling out but what will the knock on impact be to their squads? I would imagine a lot of boys will end up wanting to play if possible regardless of cash in the short term if it’s not available The players are million pound question. Very difficult to build a team next season for us. The team that threatened legal again will be circling. Can someone tell me why a conf without promotion and a premier without relegation and possible promotion is worthwhile? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland has Wee Nicola Thatcher running the show who treats football fans like they are criminals and second class citizens. There's not been an outbreak anywhere linked to grassroots football. It's next to impossible to pass the virus on outside. Away and gtf with that "Wee Nicola Thatcher" pish. She's not singling out football fans, ffs. Get a grip. And she's not acting alone. She's acting as part of a democratically elected government, you fud. The overarching reason is trying to avoid people travelling, congregating in one place when it's not essential. Amateur/non-league football is not essential. The end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team playing is in a league, there is a league title to be won . Tell that to a conference team who can’t be promoted.

If they don't gat promoted they still have a league title, players get recognition. Auchinleck Talbot have won numerous league titles over the last forty years with no promotion, were all those games glorified friendlies? Completely different when you can’t move up. Win league and best at that level. Conference teams aren’t giving opportunity to progress 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeforchange Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 2 seasons didn’t happen last either I think. No relegation from Premier either for 2 seasons even though you maybe only won 1 game last season ?

jimbaxters Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 A big shift over to the pyramid was all about promotion. Without that it's nothing. Those who are 'in' are probably loving the fact that the big boys have chosen the welfare of their players and club over rassling about the country in soaking kit, as they now have more of a chance of going up...after they get a lawyer lined up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine a few teams will be wanting to push for the promotion to LL if available and if they can get funding from somewhere to pay wages there will be plenty top league players available just now given the teams withdrawing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
