Edit. Looks like I was wrong and this is an EFL decision not a NL one. Makes a change.

If Gateshead aren’t allowed to play Aldershot should be added.

Altringham should have got the bye as the higher placed club. Also now barnet(?) Lose some of their advantage. Gateshead had just loaned someone in for the playoffs, must have been a keeper

8th should have qualified and the ties be rearranged accordingly.

What a fkin farce.
Bromley and Barnet will be oissedd off as they have scrapped all year to earn that advantage of only having to play one game.
Gateshead are p off cos they have been kicked out.
Aldershot will be p off as they finished 8th and can argue they should be in the play offs.
Alty will be p off as they finished above Solihull but have to play the two games.
Just a total monumental fk up.
Yes Gateshead knew the entry rules but how the rest of it has panned out is a joke.

The EFL, NL and Gateshead have been aware of the situation for quite a while and negotiations etc have been going on between all parties and the local council, the ones who won’t grant a ten year lease. The council, Gateshead and the NL have all made representations to the EFL who, along with an independent arbitrary panel, have still refused all propositions. But i agree contingencies should have been put in place,.

Think aldershot would have been in had it been a points deduction but suspect rules say Gateshead are not replaced in this scenario. I can see a late decision and Gateshead playing in them to really show how tin pot it all is. I can understand the efl wanting to protect themselves from a member club ending up homeless.

Barnet’s position is interesting. They have announced plans to move to a new stadium but it doesn’t yet even have planning permission. I wonder what guarantees as to their future home have prevailed!

Think they have the guarantee to play at the New Hive whilstever they are working towards building the new ground, bit like we did while moving from the old lady to Whit Moor.

I haven't listened to it but I wonder if he was suggesting that the EFL were looking for an excuse to keep a club with a 1000 or so (at best) supporters out their league?
