Lucky v unlucky

[Awaywego]

Scunthorpe lucky that we have a tory council and mp to back the club and help attain the ground. Gateshead unlucky that their labour council wouldn’t go the extra mile and just allow a ten year lease on the ground, their decision cost them their playoff place.
Blessing in disguise hopefully and hope they move to a new ground the worst ground I’ve ever been and watched football.

Nice try politicising decisions made regardless of two party politics. Still, given the Tories are looking at a wipeout in the general election I suppose it made sense for Mumby Croft and Waltham to win votes. As for Gateshead, you have no idea if a Tory council would have reached the same decision as the Labour one or not. Unless you know the exact reasons why they rejected the clubs 10 year lease extension?

Don’t be letting rationality get in the way of Awaywego spouting political nonsense Deery.

Sounds an absolute mess. First the National League announces Solihull get the bye, now they rethink and give Altrincham the bye. Sounds like an organisation with a diligent attention to their rulebook and professionalism.

Altrincham have been informed they are the team to receive a bye to the National League semi-finals & not Solihull Moors as previously announced

Moors now host FC Halifax Town on Wednesday in the play-off eliminator the winner of that game faces Barnet on Saturday

They’re all over the place!

Perhaps they could hire awaywego as a proof reader of the rules before making decisions, given they don’t seem to bother with them when making decisions until someone points to them after the initial decision. With his faith that the National League are consistent with their rulebook, he should impress at interview, since most other non-league fans are used to this shambolic decision making and take a dim view of them.

This has been going on for well over a decade.

Everyone up here knows that the Heed will not cut it as an EFL club as long as they continue to play at the International Stadium.

Plans were drawn up donkeys years ago for a shiny new stadium on the old North Durham CC site but rather like our own Lincolnshire Lakes project nothing came of it.

Gateshead is still waiting for the new state of the art music venue to be built on the car park of the other state of the art music venue!

What’s more important sport or the arts?

[Awaywego]

The decision was made by the Efl not the National League, very sad and unfortunate it took so long to resolve, Full ruling and arbitration decision on the Efl web page look for Efl judgements and decisions.

The EFL didn’t make the playoff bye cock-up, which is what I was speaking about.
