Sutton it's could refuse to be promoted

[happydays]

Sutton it's chairman not ruling out not accepting a position in EFL due to financial costs and would not want to lose there artificial pitch possibly for one season.

Did you found that out from a closely family member called Darlene

 

[happydays]

No it's from there local paper

Even if true NL is still doing promotions. Doubt they will strike off one of the promotion spots as a result and it will probably go to another team below them. No guarantee Sutton go up automatically either.

Wouldn't they just promote the next best place side.

That's not what this article on the Sutton United website suggests: From The Boardroom 29 - Sutton United Football Club.

They have submitted planning application for a new stand, are replacing antiquated turnstiles and applied to improve their floodlights to EFL standard, as well as considering how to replace the 3G, perhaps favouring a more expensive hybrid turf version.

If there is a genuine decision to make there, it fascinates me that a club would say no to promotion to the EFL. Large portion of their income must come from that pitch for it to be consideed as no worth going up

True though. League table doesn't lie. If we get relegated we deserve it and we need to take it. No pride in getting away with it on a technicality because a team like Sutton doesn't want to be bankrupted.

Yeah and PB was only joining in an advisory role wasn’t he?

Yep. He also said MM is still taking todays game. His sauce is not HP. Eventually he will get something right, but it won't be Sutton refusing to go up.

Sounds like dredging up something from 2017/18ish (possibly earlier) when EFL last voted to ban artificial pitches. Back then NL made all teams sign agreement that, if a team finishing in a promotion position refused promotion, they would be relegated to NL North or South!

Take whatever slim opportunities - desperation?

Still 5 games to go

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Frankly I don’t give a toss if we only stay up by default as long as we stay up. I don’t want Oldham or anyone else to go out of business, but if two clubs are relegated I don’t want us to be one of them and if only one is relegated because Sutton don’t want to be promoted then even better. For what it’s worth, if Sutton did turn down promotion I still think two clubs will come up, it would just be two other clubs from the Nat League.

If promoted,Sutton ,just like Harrogate at Donny,will start off sharing Wimbledon’s new ground.

They should never have let the Roly Poly Goalie go !
