Non-League journalist Ollie Bayliss is reporting that the National League’s Board of Directors and Chairman Brian Barwick has survived a vote of no confidence.
Unfathomably, none of the National League Premier clubs voted in favour of the motion, brought by National League South sides Maidstone United and Dorking Wanderers, after 17 clubs across the National League Premier, North and South were fined for failing to fulfil fixtures.
Last month, Barwick notified the National League Board of Directors that he will be stepping down at the end of this season. Yeovil Town Chairman Scott Priestnall is a member of the National League board.
I understand 33 National League clubs voted for the motion of no confidence in the League's chairman & board.
National League: 0 For, 21 Against, 2 Abstain
North: 16 For, 4 Against, 2 Abstain
South: 17 For, 4 Against
The motion failed. (Step 2 holds four votes per division). pic.twitter.com/VO4p4IGinf
