Slough Town's longest scheduled league away trip this season is Eastbourne Borough.

Southport have Boston United, Brackley Town, Gloucester City, Hereford, Kettering Town and Kidderminster Harriers!

Although all very pleasant days out for supporters when they are allowed!

Like Slough Town, starting with Tuesday 9th, Southport have 28 league matches left to play in 110 days. I can see the point that even if testing and funding are resolved, that schedule is causing new pressures in addition to basic safety issues. Extending this season would then put pressure on when to begin the 2021/22 season. 

Will Brian Barwick speak and bring everyone together at the end of the day? He is a key figure both in Association Football and Rugby League, the latter for which he is chairman of this year's World Cup.

Politics!!!

Our game with Ebbsfleet tomorrow night has now officially been confirmed as cancelled.

Ebbsfleet have re-arranged a home game with Hampton. Looking at the weather I'll be surprised if it goes ahead.

Chelmsford v Billericay tonight and tomorrows games at Concord, Welling and Maidstone have been postponed due to the weather.

Ebbsfleet have covered their pitch since Sunday and are selling streaming tickets so guess it’s going ahead 

[Curtis]

From what clubs have openly stated regarding their voting intentions it looks like:-

National South 11 to continue 7 to end (St Albans, Hampton & Braintree yet to comment)

National North 4 to continue 10 to end (8 yet to comment)

So overall combined North & South currently looks like 17-15 in favour of ending with 11 still to announce their preference.

Too close to call at present?

It's 50/50.

Making a few assumptions I make it 22 for null and void and 21 against.

haven't you learnt anything eddie you should never assume, always get the facts

[Irishadrian]

Ebbsfleet took their covers off at 1300 and have team working on residual snow at present Referees inspection/decision at about 1530.

[Irishadrian]

As at 1500 there is just 1 out of 10 NLN games still on and 4 out of 10  NLS games  with pitch inspections  still awaited

There are no NLN games on tonight.

The two remaining ones according to the BBC site at Kettering and Farsley were never going ahead due to both clubs refusing to play until the current financial mess is sorted out.

[Irishadrian]

RR When I looked about 45 mins ago the Kettering game was already gone hence I only mentioned 1 game on  I've just looked again and the Farsley game has now been removed thanks for the update.

Ollie Bayliss has now tweeted that Jim Parmenter, who recently resigned as a Director of the National League Board, believes clubs will be breaching League rules by taking loans from Sport England.

Despite their shambolic display last time out Wealdstone still cant find a starting place for Lenchy  Named as a sub tonight

[Irishadrian]

Lenchy got on for last 20 mins  Wealdstone led for much of the game but conceded a 91' minute equaliser  Torquay 1 Wealdstone 1

During this dreadful year the one photo that makes me smile when I turn on my pc hope it puts a smile on all you Rebel Supporters.

Totally support all decisions made by the club since lockdown.

When I saw the results from our league last night It made me wonder what planet these clubs think they are all on.

So after being issued with sanctions by the league do we now have no choice but to play on Saturday or do we stand our ground and risk further/bigger punishments?

[Jon Underwood]

We won’t be playing on Saturday Glen.
