Is anyone really surprised by what's happened? I was really angry when I first heard about this, but now I feel like it's what I've come to expect.

I said months ago that Stanley is a Football League team, but a Conference North (or lower) club. The way things are run are nothing short of shambolic!! Minimal, inexperienced staff can't be expected to run a professional business, but it's what's been happening for some time now.

When we played Kidderminster at the end of last season I was talking to their ex-secretary. He said that administration in the League was a nightmare and that the paperwork and regulations were 5 times the amount of that in the Conference. He said he had two filing cabinets: one for club stuff and one for League stuff. There was so much of it. He said dealing with the admin side of the League was a full-time job, so what do Stanley do? The club passes the duties of the club secretary around a handful of employees, with a young girl with minimal experience and knowledge being given club secretarial duties (alongside her other work).

Stanley have stumbled blindly along and have now been caught out. In light of the way that other clubs have been punished for breaking similar rules, Stanley should be punished in a similar fashion.

Let's face it, we're not a League club! A League club is a professional business, not an amateur make-do outfit. I feel for the fans. I feel for the players. I feel for the innocents affected by all this. I feel embarrassed, ashamed and let down!!! However, one thing I don't feel is surprised.
Tinpot all the way!

A very honest but sadly a correct statement of the clubs management structure...

On the Cheap... Eric and you may have been found out.

The players haven't caused this, it's the bad administration of our amateur backroom staff.

feel sorry for you guys. being a shaker i obviously know a little about how this feels as it happened to us in the cup, and as much as it would make us feel a little bit safer it's no way for a team to go down should that happen.

At the end of the day we're both similar sized clubs and could do with the revenue from the derby games rather than getting nowt for tuesday night rearranged games against the likes of Torquay and Boston.

just hope this doesn't cost you more than the points.

Can't understand why the club haven't declared the other game involved, at least we'd know the scale of any deduction. 4,5 or 7?

"The Club" haven't mentioned anyone or any game, they have come from other sources, they only told us the usual amount - nothing really

this is just the icing on the cake for a bad season

According to the LET Preston edition:

"Preston have confirmed they sent him to Stanley on loan so the talented youngster could experience first team football.

A spokesman for North End said today: "We can confirm that from January 15 scholar Chris McGrail was given permission to attend Accrington Stanley Football Club on work experience in accordance with FA Rule C3 (b) (v).""

Presumably they mean (a) (v) and that by "in accordance" they mean that the written permission was copied to the relevant people at the appropriate time.

I recall that at the time Preston's website signified their approbation of the move.

Hope this isn't a "Whoosh" at Livingstone Rd.
