Vote is virtually 50-50 says Scott

Leamington chairman Jim Scott is not surprised that voting on the fate of the season has drifted into a third week.  He told The Non-League Paper 'My understanding is that the combined vote is virtually 50-50. It's Brexit revisited.'

'None of us know what the financial situations are within various clubs. The reality is that if some people are being disingenuous and using it as an opportunity to cut their losses, none of us will know who they are.  I don't think there is any doubt there will be some of that.  Some will think "We're not in a very good place financially, what is the value of seeing this out?"'

'In an ideal world, everyone would want to continue, though there may be one or two clubs with the Covid issue that are so significantly against playing that it would still be an issue.  You have to respect that too.'

The NLP thinks that are a narrow majority of Tier 2 clubs are in favour of declaring the season null and void.  The chairman of Hemel Hempstead thinks this would widen the gap between the first and second tiers.
