It’s been a long time, but the National League finally reveal how the 2019/20 season will end after clubs voted for or against their proposal.

All remaining games for the season have been cancelled however playoffs were given the go ahead.
The resolution sees the table based on a points per game basis with the top teams crowned champions and promoted in each division.
Clubs finishing between second and seventh in each division will be invited to take part in playoffs if the motion is passed and agreed upon by the National League and then ratified by the FA Council.
Because of the financial costs of participating, and getting no matchday revenue, clubs will be able to decline taking part.
The results of the vote, needed a 51 per cent majority to pass and if a majority is not reached then the campaign could be null and void.
There will be no relegations from the North and South divisions but, if ratified, three teams will drop out of the National League.

Following a vote by all member Clubs, and subject to FA Council approval, the Vanarama National League, Vanarama National League North and Vanarama National League South seasons 2019/20 will be concluded with final league tables compiled on an “Unweighted Points Per Game” basis.
The outcome is Barrow AFC are champions of the Vanarama National League, King’s Lynn Town are champions of Vanarama National League North and Wealdstone are champions of Vanarama National League South.
The end of season Play-Offs will now proceed with the Clubs that qualify, subject to the competition rules and the applicable government guidance on the phased return of elite sport.
The number of Clubs to be relegated from the Vanarama National League will be determined so as to maintain a National Division of 24 Clubs after any relegation from EFL League Two, promotion to EFL League Two and promotion from the National League North and National League South divisions. There shall be no relegation from Vanarama National League North and Vanarama National League South.
Chief Executive Officer Michael Tattersall commented: “I congratulate each of our champions Clubs on their successful campaigns. The enforced curtailment of our season does nothing to discredit the quality of the football played and I am pleased that our Clubs have overwhelmingly supported the award of their titles. We can now also look towards the completion of end of season Play-Offs.”

Congratulations from a Poolie. Barrow are a wonderful example of how private and fan owners can work together for club and community and the benefits it can bring. Here’s hoping we can join you up there soon.

48 years ago my father took me to my first ever football match, Stones Vs Waterlooville. He sadly died 2 years ago but he would have been so happy today. UTS.
