If either side needed the points now, it would be replayed. Neither team will be promoted or relegated

Also obliquely refers to "action against Bath City" which suggests there's slightly more to this.

Not true - Bath City are currently in a play off place, this decision will hurt their chances of staying there.

That’s not the point,I’m sure many are thinking of the game against Lincoln. Only two minutes to go. Pretty sure the FA is the governing body behind most leagues, they seem to have rules for some and not others.For instance turn your mind back to last season,we played a game (can’t remember who) but the ref blow up prematurely and then played 4 minutes of the first half at the start of the second?? Chelsea and Man City spend money like nobody else but Everton and Forest get points deducted. When coved was on didn’t the FA award a cup game against us? Hypocrisy at its best imo. I know what FA stands for and it’s not the Football Association

National League has it's own management committee and league rules they have governance of the National League.

The EFL made the decision our game should be replayed.

You've managed to conflate several completely irrelevant issues into one post which still manages to ignore the fact the EPL, EFL and National Leagues are all not directly run by the FA.

No it wont. They’re a game in hand and have it in their own hands.

Just get over it.

The EFL rules are the EFL rules. The ref didn’t have to stop the game and the game had to be replayed. Everton and Forest’s deductions are straight forward and not based on 115 different charges. City’s time will come.

By which point they'll try and have this implemented so they can buy their way out of trouble:

They don't have a game in hand, they have Torquay at Home this Saturday and Aveley Away the following Saturday. Any one of Hampton, Farnborough Aveley and St Albans can all go above them.

If we’d been awarded the 3 points from that abandoned Lincoln game we would now be on 65 points. Moving our current league position from 10th to…. 10th

No you are not. One of the great away days. Babacombe beach in January is a sight to behold as are the Torquay palm trees. The ground is poo poo mind.

Correct but what you are missing is that we would have been 3 points closer to the playoffs at Easter than we were and would have been able to approach both games differently.

It hasn’t only changed the end of our season. It had an impact on many other games and , in particular, the Lincoln and Peterborough games.

If they keep winning, they stay in the playoffs

Maybe going forward but I can’t see it affecting historical cases.

Torquay are close to getting relegated to whatever is below the conference south

As are Dover and Havant & Waterlooville. Both clubs were in the same division as us until relatively recently!
