Think you can guess what tier we will be in.....

Looking at figures just now unfortunately I can’t see us in anything but Tier3

If we are in Stage 3 will we still get financial assistance? Surely this is the question we need to know the answer to.

Exactly my feeling QF.... unfortunately. I’m hoping for 2 though so I can get my pub back open.I get the feeling we will be lumped with the rest of Tees Valley even though Darlo isn’t that bad when you compare it to the knuckle draggers or Stockton.

We gotta hope for at least tier 2at best tier 1 fingers ,legs ,eyes crossed.

This will be a massive boost for so many clubs especially in non league, despite the reduced numbers in many cases having supporters back in grounds is absolutely vital for the survival of many teams lower down the pyramid I was fearful back in October that resuming behind closed doors could well force some clubs to the wall.

I didn't think we'd see a return of supporters in any guise until at least spring and having watched a bit of the press conference this evening it seems that if all goes well with the roll out of vaccines we could take a substantial step out of this nightmare by then. I realise the numbers at the higher levels are a drop in the ocean but I'd sooner see some fans in stadium's than none I still find it absolutely intolerable in these big empty stadiums with fake crowd noise I'd rather they played on the training grounds.

After eight long, hard, miserable months it seems like there is finally a chink of light at the end of the tunnel.

We'll be in tier 3, so no fans in for now. The government has said that more areas will be in tier 3 after the lockdown, than were in tier 3 before the lockdown.
