PROMOTED! to the football league. There league ended with points per game Local rivalries aside (I'm gritting my teeth as I type!), it's the right outcome. Still trying to wrap my head around PPG being used at that level, but not ours...

Totally disgraceful that it wasn't. Didnt think I'd ever say this cos I've been in love with football all my life but I'm totally disillusioned with it atm.

How can the fa get away with this. chorley are to be relegated on the points per game average but the fa main reason for voiding our leagues was that it would be unfair to relegate teams on that basis.

Congratulations to Barrow, they have had their breaks and taken them. No reason why Reds cant follow them up the leagues.
Like all Reds fans I am very disappointed and frustrated with the FA decision to null snd void a season so hastily and without giving our Leagues the same courtesy as offered to other leagues including the WPL where only two thirds of the season had been completed but decided on PPG. It will always ..... one off so much for integrity

Just shows what the FA think of non league. Double standards & self preservation rule the roost. Common sense doesn't even come into any judgements made by those fine gentlemen !!

The decision to end the season as null and void was made by the NPL. It’s become clear since that there was little or no consultation with the clubs. Therefore the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the club representatives on the board of the NPL. The role of the FA was to rubber stamp the decision made by the NPL.
I’m the last person to defend the clueless bunch at the FA but the anger expressed on this forum should be directed at the NPL ruling committee who should have considered allowing all clubs to vote on the decision rather simply accept, on trust, that the wishes of the clubs had been elicited. They are the ones who have sold us down the river.

The blame lies squarely with the spineless Mark Harris and his subservient lackeys on the NPL committee who are completely unfit for purpose.. Don't bother trying to email Harris either as he doesn't have the decency to reply.

The whole ppg saga has been a farce from top to bottom those involved in the decision making at our level should be offering their resignations immediately, congratulations to Barrow though, they will need to strengthen across their squad I wonder if a few of the young locals who have been backing up on part time contracts will be heading our way

Don't bother trying to email Harris either as he doesn't have the decency to reply. Absolutely agree about Harris ( remember him completely stitching us up over the Stourbridge play off ? ), but the SPL is no better. But two leagues changing their vote from PPG to null and void "for consistency" to agree with a single league absolutely reeks to me of FA interference. Wonder what the FA offered the NPL and SPL committees to roll over ? We'll probably see Harris in the Royal Box at Wembley. I do hope our Chairman will ask Harris for a written explanation for the reasons for changing their original preferred method. "For consistency" is an insult to anyone's intelligence. Also congrats to Barrow. Denying them promotion would have been wrong, and two wrongs don't make a right.

Agree with Jeff S - two wrongs don't make a right. But the decision does nothing to reduce the sense of injustice felt by everyone connected with Reds. As I was working in Barrow when their club was kicked out of the football league at the end of the 71-72 season, I still remember vividly the anger and despair felt in the town - feelings shared by Reds fans a few years later. It's taken Barrow a long time to regain what was felt at the time to have been unjustly taken away from them. I'd love to think that Reds could follow their example or at least climb a couple of more leagues. They should have taken a step in that direction this season only to be denied by an appalling decision which has just become even more difficult to justify. Those responsible should be feeling thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Is the NPL committee made up of representatives of member clubs? and if so which ones? As you'd expect, there is no easily accessible list. But it's been a really wet afternoon . . .. The NPL directors as at the last available financial year ( 2018 / 19 ) are listed at Companies House as below. The club links in brackets are purely my own from Google & various club sites so shouldn’t be treated as gospel, and I'm happy to be corrected. Chair Mark Harris ( Ex Chair Witton Albion FC. Stepped down as Chair in 2018. Not clear if he’s still involved with their board ) Vice Chair Keith Brown ( Matlock FC ) Anne Barker ( Clitheroe FC – she may have retired as it looks like she stepped down from Clitheroe last year ) Paul Hilton ( Radcliffe FC ) Michael Joiner ( Chasetown FC ) Toby Macormack –( Warrington Town FC ) Phiip Varney ( Belper Town ) Stephen Hartley ( Hyde United ) Company Secretary Brian Lawlor – no club directorships stated. Don’t know if he votes . On the ( soon not to be ) BetVictor NPL website there is a General Manager, Angie Firth, who is a Halifax Town fan but no evidence of any formal position. Finally Paul Hatt, the Commercial & Compliance Manager who was with Farsley Celtic but looks to have left them a while back. No idea if these two get a vote. I’d doubt it. No doubt someone will now post an easy link to one single list !
