  • Macclesfield have been docked 6 points, with a further 4 point deduction suspended.

    Looks like they may have not be allowed any fans into the ground for their game against Plymouth with the Safety Advisory Group serving a zero-capacity notice

    So once again, a club needs funds to pay the players wages (hence why they went on strike in the first place) yet wont be able to through one of their incomes
  • Poor that the Macclesfield games has been called off at such short notice, bet a number of Plymouth fans are already there
  • Saw this from Ryan Lowe the Plymouth manager



    Can any argyle fans with children who have made the trip to Macclesfield tonight get in touch with me, as me and my staff and the players have a special treat for you ?!💚
  • Although the clubs seem to be say different things which less than 15 hours before the game seems weird

     I am aware of press releases which suggest that tomorrow's game against Plymouth Argyle has been postponed.
     
    I would like to state that we have never asked the EFL to play the game behind closed doors and as far as I am are concerned, the game will be played as scheduled.



    For clarification, the unequivocal and categorical information that we have received from the @EFL is that tomorrow's scheduled @SkyBetLeagueTwo at @thesilkmen is OFF.

    And will remain off.

    #pafc



    Macclesfields last update was at 9PM at Plymouths at 9.30PM 
  • Hmm.....I would say that the EFL trump anything an individual club wants to do. The EFL schedule the fixtures & if they say its off....then its off.
  • Poor old Gritty is involved up there 
  • Ok so its gone 13.30 and Macclesfield still have not put on twitter or their club website a statement saying the game is off, in fact the last update on their site is the one from 9pm stating the game is on.

    Poor communication 
  • Macclesfield's home match with Grimsby on Boxing Day will go ahead as planned after safety issues were resolved.

  • Any additional action by the English Football League to try to help save Bury FC "would not have made any difference to the eventual outcome", an independent review has concluded.

  • Oldham in trouble now




    Oldham Athletic have tonight been served with a notice of application to the court to appoint administrators by Boundary Park landlords Brassbank Ltd.

    Whats the point deduction for administration, Stevenage have been cast adrift recently could this save them from relegation

    So the previous owners of Oldham, who did not sell the ground to the new owner have now called in the Administrators.  Hmmm

    Not sure how this has come as a surprise to anyone, it has been rotten for years. 
  • If/when the Coronavirus causes fans to reduce match attendance, or even worse, forces some matches to be played in front of empty stadiums, small clubs who rely mostly on matchday turnover.... could more fragile clubs find themselves in a terminal decline?
  • Amazingly Oldham best Newport 5 nil today.
  • Even more amazingly Oldham have nearly completed a new stand (looking at yesterday's game).
  • Even more amazingly Oldham have nearly completed a new stand (looking at yesterday's game).
    The empty stand isn't a newly built one about to be opened, it actually opened 5 years ago but is currently bizarrely closed due to a safety issue

    A crazy situation, especially as it's the best stand in the ground and commercially the most important - imagine The Valley with the West Stand with all its lounges and hospitality areas shut?

    Ask not for whom the bell tolls,
    It tolls for you
  • It's all gone rather quiet on the Derby & Sheff Wed fronts. 
  • Both clubs already on minus 12.

    Any poor teams in League 1 could get really lucky this season, lack of players and points deductions for Bolton and Bury mean chances are only 2 other teams will go down
    So have they not been given another 6 points deduction for failing to fulfill their last fixture of last season...??
    Jeez, do you slow down for car crashes?
    Golfie is a speed demon. He never slows down unless absolutely necessary.

  • The genuis that is the EFL think tank is well and truly at work again

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52898117

    Southend have been given a suspended points deduction (just three points) and a fine of £7,500 for late payment of wages

    Surely that sort of money would be better spent on actual wages at the moment? - Especially for a club of their size
  • Shows that instant admin or points deduction for CAFC is very unlikely as a result of EFL punishment.

    That's just ludicrous considering the situation and potential financial fall out of clubs. 

    I wonder when this late payment occurred.

    Someone on the twitter link said it dated back to December

    You'd have thought that the sensible option would be a suspended fine too, especially in the current climate
  • I was under the impression there would be no relegation from League Two. Points deduction seems liked a wasted punishment.

    I think there will be relegation from League Two because Championship | League One clubs dont like the idea of no relegation from one league yet from others

    Its baffling as the EFL is already missing a team so simply leave Stevenage in the Division and promote Barrow (if the National League agrees), its not bloody difficult

    A points deduction would have been wasted on Southend anyway as they were all but relegated - making it suspended does them more harm to the club than an actual deduction. Perhaps that the reason for doing so.
  • The EFL is one club down at the moment anyway, so presumably cancelling relegation from L2 and promoting 1 club from the NL would work

    Or just relegating Stevenage and promoting 1

    Doesnt that leave the EFL a club short still?

    Or did you mean to say promote two
  • edited June 2020
    If Macclesfield get done again(think I saw  they were facing another charge)and there are no more games, think they will go down and not Stevenage.

    There last points deduction I think 2 points were suspended

    So that would be added to any further points deduction, and they would surely go below Stevenage
