Southend and Grimsby have launched an appeal against their relegation from the EFL saying that no teams should be promoted from the National League this season as they are not relegating any clubs due to the north and south sections of the league not completing their seasons.
In the unlikely event that their appeal is successful then how can any team be promoted from Division 2 as the same scenario applies and they would not be relegating any teams?, hence we would be saved. This would then have a knock on effect throughout the EFL rendering the whole season as pointless exercise.
Surely the EFL and the National League have a reciprocal agreement in place whereby the EFL accept 2 National League promotions into League 2 and the National League take 2 teams relegated from League 2 .... with relegation, or non-relegation, from the National League being considered a totally separate matter?
