Atleast Tonbridge can look back on the season and remember it for their great FA Cup run ending with their live televised game at home to Bradford City, along with all the income that came with it and
the tremendous generousity shown by the City fans.

I have to agree with Jonty and Duke. It would be good to carry on but in my opinion, with clubs struggling, the sooner this farce is over the better.

See Steve Irving's interview on Kent-Online, looking more like the end off the season and furlough time for the Darts.

Dorking owner expecting a null & void decision. He wants the clubs who want to carry on to do so and the rest to end their seasons but without sanctions being imposed. Talk of legal challenges.

I make him right. The teams who want to carry on should do so. For promotion

Well, I'm not sure I agree about Dover. They appear to be the only NL Premier club not playing at the moment? If they were chasing a play off place I have no doubt they would still be playing. Parmenter likes to think of Dover as a big club knocking on the door of the Football League..... when it suits him. I for one wouldn't be at all sad if they went under ...... again!

Great idea, however if this is the case then there is no point of the vote with the various resolutions and clubs subsequently deciding they will furlough then sign players from AFC Wimbledon U23's to make up the numbers.

In addition if there is the option to continue, will all clubs re start a mini league on no points , or will clubs who opt out results be expunged.

In a twisted kind of way, I quite like Jim Parmenter and as "The Duke" has already pointed out, he is only doing what is best for Dover. Whether you like him or not, he is quite a character, maybe even a vile one at that. Their wage bill is around 25k per week, of which 85% is related to the playing staff, so I don't blame him for pulling the plug. Added to this, the family business has been hit hard by the pandemic.

Ridicules idea the league should be null and void.
