Maybe they're waiting to see how the Charlton situation plays out - mind you, we could see another couple of pandemics come and go in that time.

If you don’t sort the fixtures before every situation is sorted out we will never even get started with all the goings on at the moment. Last seasons playing with a team kicked out could well become the norm over the next few years.

You may well be right. I can sort of put up with the kicked out scenario. It's the Bolton type situation that rankles where teams who play their youth team benefit over others. And I'm not just saying that because we screwed up against them.

Silkmen Provide EFL Update

As part of the Club's ongoing fight to retain our EFL status, we advised yesterday that one element of concern to us is the fact that there appears to be no guarantee of when the 2020/21 National League season will commence.

sad for the supporters.
500k - that’s the weekly wage of a couple of premiership players

£173k owed to Sol for 9 months work - suggests not a lot of sense in contracts for such a small club.
 
So that'll be the Conference running one less unless the FA/NL give 1 of the relegated sides a last minute reprieve and run both NL regional leagues short.

As an aside, Southend are up in Court as well today.
 
Very sad but this winding up petition was first raised in Jan 2019 and seemingly the current owner hasn't got very far with either paying the debts or selling the club.

You have to wonder what tales have been told to Tim Flowers (appointed on 28th August), Danny Whitaker (came out of retirement yesterday to sign a playing contract) and the 8 players they've signed this summer.
 
Southend case heard. According to their forum where somebody watched the proceedings on Skype; they have made a part payment to HMRC with the old tax debt now £493,991 (this doesn't include any of the VAT/Income Tax that has been deferred since Covid kicked in). There is an adjournment for the remaining debt until 28th October which leaves them still under a transfer embargo. The Southend fans think they are very likely to go down as they've sold their better players* and what is left is a bit rubbish and this adjournment takes them past the transfer deadline so strengthening will be difficult.

This was Southend's 4th hearing which is more than Macclesfield got I think. So Southend may need to pay up or they could be next.

*They still have Charlie Kelman but it is very possible that he will leave to fund the paying off the debt.
