angieram Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Oxford's lease runs out in 2 years. How come they are still in the EFL? Crewton and FKANorwichExile 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I wonder if it's a ploy to allow another southern club into the playoffs (i.e. Aldershot). This should have been highlighted a few months ago to allow Gateshead time to enter into discussions with the local council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Just for some context, the stadium is owned by Gateshead Council, and Gatehead have played there continuously since 1973 (even through two changes of ownership of the Club). DarkFruitsRam7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 The whole set of decisions is odd. If Gateshead can't play, why not replace them with Aldershot? Why do Solihull (5th) get a bye just because they were meant to play Gateshead? Surely Altrincham in 4th should get the advantage of the bye and restructure the semis?

Comrade 86 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 This just feels petty and vindictive. I've said for several years now that I do not believe the EFL is fit for purpose. Their ethos seems to me to be almost perfectly at odds with the that of the game whose interests they claim to champion and this kind of self-harm only reinforces that impression further.

Anon Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The EFL are a shambles, but I'm not sure this is caused by them. Maybe it's debateable whether a 10 year security of tenure is really necessary for a promoted team, but this was quite clearly stipulated in the league rules and Gateshead were already informed of this potentially barring them from promotion well ahead of time. I'd be very interested to know why Gateshead council failed to work with the club to provide the security of tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue being is if the council sell it, the new owners are free to renegotiate. Anon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him play the full 90 minutes in Gateshead's 0-2 at AFC Fylde. Unfortunately he was rarely involved in what was an off-key team individual and team performance.

Turk Thrust Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 This isn’t a new rule. It’s been there for some time and all clubs including Gateshead were aware. Some clubs have a 10 year lease which runs out in the next few years such as Oxford where the lease runs out in 2026 so they need a new lease or new ground for the 26/27 season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezzyram Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Probably speculation following his success at Gateshead but there is some chatter on the Chesterfield forum transfer rumours that they are after Brown on a season long loan for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got 2 years to run on his contract and I imagine the club will be putting a new improved offer Infront of him in the close season (or should be).

Highly unlikely at least, thankfully. Good to hear that he's so highly rated though. Contract extension the order of the day, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I shared your confidence that he'll be around the first team. I expect Warne will be keen to loan him out to League Two. I think that's the development path Warne has talked about before.
