Alty have only done really well this season to finish where they did because they played an illegible player - they finished where they were by breaking the rules. They do not deserve to stay up on that basis because they did it illegally. They gained the points illegally so they deserve to lose them, if that relegates them then that is unfortunate. If the points deduction did not put them in a relegation position I don't think that anybody would be complaining.

I would hope that Stanley would NEVER finish 15 points behind Alty !!!!
