Fixed that for you - never really played for us; properly, like.

Nice donation though.

Alex Butler as well https://twitter.com/han_baggie/status/1242405439700074496

Recognise his face from shots of him coming in with the team on matchdays. Can also remember him being in the away end at the sty and celebrating Jack's goal.

What's his role in the club again. Worrying that he hasn't just got a mild form of this.

He is the Club Masseur, direct contact with the players I think

On that Reina very humble and graciously said

Last week it was my turn to go through the bug," he told Spanish radio station Cope. "It has been a different week, of taking precautions not to infect the people who live with me.

"Here tests are not conducted unless you are (in a) very bad (state). Speaking to the doctors, the symptoms I had were of it, without official confirmation of it but everything pointed to it.

"We are very privileged people. We have a big house, with a garden. I think of the people who live in a 70-metres-squared apartment with two children and for me they are people who are showing a lot of strength."

League Statement 24th March - Season 2019/20

The Alliance Leagues held the latest of several conference calls last night (Monday) after our own board, and those of the Isthmian and Northern Premier Leagues, met over the weekend to determine how we wish to proceed. We have also participated in calls with the Step 5/6 clubs.

End of season

The Step 3 & 4 Leagues share clubs’ frustration that it is taking so long to determine whether the 2019/20 season is to end now, and if so on what basis. To maintain the integrity of our competitions, we ideally need to apply one solution across all of the National League System. However, this may not be possible.

The Southern, Isthmian and Northern Premier Leagues are unanimous in wanting to terminate the 2019-20 season immediately.

Whether that is done on the basis of determining final placings via average points per game, or the season is declared null & void cannot be decided until the National League decides how it wishes to proceed.

Right now, the National League’s position is that they wish to be able to resume the 2019-20 season at some point. The feeder Leagues do not support this because our clubs do not have the financial resources to continue to honour player contracts indefinitely.

The Southern, Isthmian and Northern Premier Leagues have therefore implemented the process to terminate the season. This has to be ratified by FA council, so there may be a short delay as the relevant documentation is submitted, distributed and approved. Therefore, the League's desire is not the confirmed outcome.

Whilst this process is on-going, and once the National League has finalised how it wishes to proceed, competition issues can then be decided, together with the implications for promotion and relegation.

So much for the integrity of the leagues.

It seems OK do do the only sensible thing as far as the non-money making leagues are concerned but as far as the money leagues go, "integrity" is of the utmost importance.

It's a dangerous precedent if any league finishes and has promotion and relegation based on average points. That would be us down.

Think the legal battles would go on longer than the football season.

A fair point. Hopefully that will put them off.
