GLOVES ARE OFF: Yeovil’s bid to bounce back into the Football League under owner Scott Priestnall, left, has been put on hold
YEOVIL TOWN chairman Scott Priestnall believes the National League have taken a wrong turn by giving clubs the vote – and doesn’t plan to use his.
Last week, the league told their members they would be given the chance to vote on whether the remaining regular season games should be cancelled.
If that resolution – recommended by the league – goes through, there will be further, currently unspecified, votes on what happens next.
But Yeovil co-owner Priestnall feels the league shouldn’t have brought in a voting process, preferring them to bide their time and see what happens with the Football League.
“I’ve been quite clear with the National League and their chief executive (Michael Tattersall),” he told The NLP. “I just don’t think we should be voting.
“Having spoken to a few people in the National League, it seems to me that club chairmen and owners will make a decision in the best interests of their clubs and not the league. It’s a decision that should be taken at a higher level.
“Previously, the National League has been in tandem with the EFL and it makes sense to do that – we are going to have promotion and relegation between the EFL and National League.
