Dover's appeal can only be an attempt on their part to be removed from the National League as my understanding this ruling is after referral to an independent body? They took unilateral action to stop playing despite all other 22 members of the Division continuing to play on after a vote, including those whose preference was not to continue. You either want to be a member of a club and accept its member's democratically arrived at decisions or you don't.
At the heart of all of this is how a large number of National League member clubs seemed to be under the impression that Govt support was always going to be in the form of grant funding. Given that the 2nd major tranche of support transpired to be primarily loans, but also means tested, suggests that this was never a given. Could it be that Nat League chairs were just a bit too complacent?
