The four votes each for the NLN & NLS were mentioned, but when the results were published the voting came back as:
National League North 16(for) - 6 (against)
National League South 9 - 12
So presumably all 4 votes from NLN were carried over for the resolution, and all 4 votes from the NLS went against it.
Which means around 24% of the 64 clubs voting, cast votes that had no impact on Resolution 1.
Clubs voting for Resolution 1 = 72% if calculated as a % of the 64 club membership, less than the threshold, so all leagues would be declared null and void. Using the 4 vote system, calculated from the 29 votes counted, gives 86% so the split decision was passed, and the National League were home and dry.
So it was set up this way to ensure that the lower leagues would be unlikely to shut down the National League, whose clubs all wanted to continue.
My view is that all the Resolutions should have required a 75% majority. If you are overturning the National League rulebook concerning completion of fixtures, then it is far from an 'ordinary' resolution, and should require a much higher threshold than 50%.
All businesses need protection, not just those bigger clubs.
With the furlough scheme due to end in March, and contracted players to be paid, the decent squad we have now could be broken up, with no chance of any income the way things are.
