National League AGM

The National League AGM took place last weekend.

Here's some information from it mainly sourced from Gloverscast.

'A proposal to allow National League clubs to field five substitutes from a bench of six has been defeated in a vote at the league’s Annual General Meeting.

 The motion failed despite voting being 15-9 in favour because all motions require at least 18 clubs supporting it to pass.

The report on the AGM also says there was 'little appetite for a hard salary cap, but there is for a soft salary cap or tighter financial regulations' from clubs despite a vote 12 months ago for the move and setting up a working group'.

The AGM also voted Sonia Kulkarni, a non-executive advisor to the board at National League North champions Gateshead, on to the board replacing Richard Simkin of Stockport County, who were promoted to the EFL.

Gloucester City co-chairman Alex Petheram was also voted on to the board as representative for the National League North whilst Dagenham & Redbridge managing director Steve Thompson, and Richard Parsons, director at National League South side Hampton & Richmond were re-elected.

The first day of the 2022-23 season was confirmed as Saturday 6th August with the final day on Saturday 29th April. The National League promotion final will be played on Saturday 13th May with the venue to be confirmed'.
