FAVERSHAM TOWN

Faversham boss James Collins has no interest in a reduced league campaign. The Lilywhites started the Isthmian South East season with a six-game unbeaten run before the action was suspended.

With no sign of a restart date it’s going to be difficult to get the season finished on time. But Collins sees no merit in a points-per-game scenario or playing each other once.

“The pessimistic side of me says I can’t see how they’re going to finish the season,” he said.

“We’ve played six league games. It’s looking like null and void again. You can’t do it on points per game after so few games.

“Any team can go six games unbeaten at the start, it doesn’t mean anything.

“At the same time, anyone can have a slow start and still do well. Look at Manchester United. If the Premier League had stopped after six games they’d probably be 17th and now they’re second.

“It’s also not a fair reflection to do it over 18 games.

We’ll do as we’re told but I wouldn’t be in favour of that. “I wouldn’t want to achieve, or not achieve, something in a season that wasn’t done properly.

“For clubs it’s different, if you go up, you go up, but if you’re a manager or player, you want to feel you’ve achieved it the proper way.”
