Future National League sides Grimsby and Southend are lodging a proposal against their relegation from the EFL saying it’s “unfair” to be relegated into a league where there was no relegation.
Speaking to the Southend Echo, Southend Chairman, Ron Martin has said that the proposal will be discussed at the EFL.
“A proposal has been submitted to the English Football League and it will be discussed at next week’s EFL meeting. Ultimately it will be spoken about at the AGM on June 10th too. Grimsby and us feel that the unusual circumstances of this year should be acknowledged. The National League haven’t relegated but they have promoted and the way it’s pitched at the moment it’s unfair to relegate clubs from League Two.We’re looking at the rules.”
Martin claimed the proposal had been submitted by Grimsby, with input from Southend, and the Mariners are yet to comment.
Let’s see how that goes, eh?
