took a brief look at the table, it's looking one of them seasons where someone in the championship will go down with 50 + points for sure.

This season expunged completely for all leagues below NLS Step 2.
Seems like the Prem, EFL and National League 1 & 2 want to complete the season and have asked permission to extend the season indefinitely. Goodness knows what happens to players' contracts, transfer windows etc.
Not terribly stoked for the madness.

As far as I know nobody in NLN is in a position to finish it and presumably there's no relegation if the leagues below have already been told their league is void so no promotion.

Having spent most of the season in the top 3 in L2, we had a dip in form at the worst possible time and now the season's over we're in the weird playoffs rather than the auto slots (the only reason I care about this is because dirty Argyle managed to worm their way into the autos, the snotrags). All behind closed doors obv, but if we want we can pay £25 to upload a photo of ourselves to some website and they will manufacture a polypropylene cut-out to be placed in the stands to give an impression of a crowd. We get to keep our cut-outs, but the club can't help it if they're damaged. I'm half tempted as a way of bunging the club some case but I'm probably better just making an extra donation to the Trust.
The thought of picking up a cardboard cut-out of myself with half my head hanging off because it had been clattered by a Jake Taylor moonshot from the edge fo the box, such a feeling.

lol beautiful
if i'd got the money i thought of putting my dad in the fake crowd at Molineux, think he'd have enjoyed it
i don't suppose there was any good way of sorting out the broken leagues but i'm not happy with the ways they've chosen

I am not too bothered really - genuinely the only reason I'm bothered about going up is that being in League 1 would provide a one-division safety net for the next time we go tits up. Because of the way we're structured we just have to get used to watching teams piss past us while racking up millions in debt, which we can't do. Most of them will fail eventually but there seems to be an endless queue of rich tossers (at our level, mostly local rich tossers as opposed to the criminal classes higher up) who are happy to waste a ton of their cash on some small scale grubby financial doping. Even the dream of keeping ourselves going on good transfer windfalls (which is what's been fuelling or fairly decent run the last 3 or four years) has been taken away. So L2 or L1 is not that important, mostly it's about having a beer and a jump up and down.
(That last bit's not wholly true. The club's doing a lot of good in the community these days, which I'm pleased about obviously, but L2 or L1 doesn't make a whole heap of difference to that either.)

Fully formed when he left, took us a while to fix him after he arrived back from Charlton IIRC.

i hadn't been aware he was involved in a successful playoff campaign for u as a player

and it wasn't us what spoilt him, it was the motley crew of cheltenhams he struggled thru before retiring obv

He was in the team that thrashed Charlton 3-0 at yours (the Valley was pretty full that day because you made it v cheap to try to attract some fans for an unattractive game, heh).
