Re: Boston saga continues
 

But it was a cracking night - shame I went home earlish. The sing song reminded me of the old days, bet there were a few sore heads this morning? And thanks to Jay and Kate for not trying to quieten us down this time - must of known they were on a loser!

Re: Boston saga continues
 

I think it was more to do with the fact that kate wasn't there rob :D checked with Jay and he just said carry on!!!!! Even the singer got in on the act later :p

I am surprised that anyone supports Posh tbh ;)

Re: Boston saga continues
 

Sort of related, I read somewhere today that Leeds are trying to pull the CVA trick before the end of the season so they get the 10 points deduction this year as they're down now anyway - interesting call now for Boston who've been trying to stave it off but, if they do, might just wind up on minus 10 and in the Conference in August. :p

Re: Boston saga continues
 

The league wouldn't allow the 10 point deduction for this season.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

Is that an actual rule, or just you applying obvious common sense ? 'Cos common sense doesn't normally seem to apply to football administration :)

Re: Boston saga continues
 

didnt cambridge get relegated to conference, take 10 point deduction at end of season then start with clean slate in conference?????


come to think of it.........who cares....... the reds are staying up :)

Re: Boston saga continues
 

Apparently Boston went into administration DURING today's game, with the hope that the 10 point deduction would be applied this season and not next. I really hope they don't get away with this. They cheated their way into the league and they've still at it!!

Isn't it ironic that Dagenham have been promoted to take Boston's place next season, when it was they who missed out on a Football League place due to Boston's illegal activities?

Re: Boston saga continues
 

the rule on administration etc should be clarified to the nth degree. You will probably never see a professional football club go bust ever again, like us, because of the ridiculous rules that allow people like Ken Bates to sell his club to himself under a different guise and therefore waive any debts accrued chasing a dream (not by Bates).

The 10 point rule was origintaed to try to punish clubs for wrongdoings and not being able to balance the books. To mess about DURING a game like Boston allegedly did is taking the mickey out of the governing bodies. The deduction should be enforced. Maybe the rule should be that they will always suffer the deduction next season regardless of where they finish. It shouldn't affect promotion teams as that would be down to cheating - like Boston.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

Convienient they decided to announce it once they were beaten today. I think they should start in the Conference (or even lower maybe) with -10 the cheats... Fair enough Leeds have done it and they still have a game to play but to announce it 3/4 of the way through a final game of the season that they were loosing is just trying it on - whats the difference say between Wednesday, Thursday or even yesterday if they were going to go into administration anyway??? The difference is that they still had a slim chance of staying up which just stinks. Even in their final hour they try to cheat their way out of financial reprimands. Anyway apparently the football league have to rule on this... lets hope they see sense as they did earlier this season for us and lets welcome Daggers (this time coming up as they should have done several seasons ago) and hopefully Morecambe fans next season.... Bye bye Evans you ******...

Re: Boston saga continues
 

The precedent was set yesterday by Leeds and Boston have latched on to the pathetic rules. Even though I have different reasons not to feel the same about Boston as you lot it's still unacceptable that clubs can be in a position to cheat the system.

The football league have to act fast to stop this happening again.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

According to the BBC this has indeed happened

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot..._3/6602943.stm

Pathetic! I feel for the supporters, but the club and its people don't deserve to get away with the things they have. Just wait until Evans turns up at Chester next week. ;)

Re: Boston saga continues
 

Hmmmm.... some FA official has claimed that you can't go into a CVA during a match. Maybe justice will be done afterall?

Re: Boston saga continues
 

Somebody said yesterday that the points deduction comes in to effect before the next game you play, in which case it would be next season. It all seems very vague, I suspect this could even baffle the clowns who run the football league

I don't think a -10 point deduction will affect any promotion chances they have of getting back straight back in to the league, quite the opposite I think it could make a difference to them getting relegated again. If a club doesn't pay it's players for nearly 3 months they aren't going to attract any good ones for next season. Plus as you say it's 99.9 % likely they will have a new manager.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

It's disgusting if they're allowed to get away with this, they should be kicked out altogether and sent down the pyramid as low as possible. Just a thought, if that did happen (and I know in reality it's not going to), would the club above them be relegated to the conference to take their place or would an extra one come up from conf north or south? Would be justice if it were the former cos that would mean Mr 'I'm too good for this league' Ince's lot would be relegated after all :)

Re: Boston saga continues
 

I heard a league official say on the radio yesterday that you could go into administration at any time up to the final whistle in the last game.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

Interesting stuff with Boston..However I can't get my head round how Dirty Leeds Utd, who faced certain relegation from the Championship after last weeks game with Ipswich went into administration this week and have already had their 10 points deducted. Does anybody know why these ponts were deducted so soon and has not really affected their league status, when it, in my opinion, would have more of a punishment to start them on -10 pts??

On another note, I think all involved at Stanley (inc fans) should be proud of their efforts this season in staying in the league. After a mid-term wobble, loss of influencial players, injuries and a few negative comments on this forum stating that it would not be all bad if we dropped back into the conference. IMHO I believe that the foundations have been laid for some exciting times at the FES and with everyone pulling in the same direction and with some new signings it should be an interesting time next season..The vision of all should be to make Accrington Stanley a permanent fixture in the league with a plan to build on this seasons success.

I Look forward to my periodic visits again when in the area.. On-Stanley-On!!

Pheeew.. Im off for a lie down after that lot..!! :D :D

Tractorboy Red :)

Re: Boston saga continues
 

I think the Leeds' situation is crafty in that they sold the club back to themselves (in effect) but at least they declared CVA before their last game of the season even if at the time they did, it was impossible they were going to stay up. Theres a difference when the realisation with 15 minutes of the last game of the season to go, that the club are going down to 'quickly' declare CVA in the pure cheek nay hope that the 10 points will be deducted that season instead of next.

A joke if you ask me and I really feel for the Boston Utd fans - as Ive said before, the current shoddy state of the club caused by the idiots who have got away with the awful underhanded bad, incompetent running of it for years so far, have in my opinion put themselves further in the myre by trying this on and I hope it backfires on them. The Boston FANS dont deserve all this surely? The numbnuts running it deserve everything that should come their way... but theyve avoided it for so many years so far and I wouldnt put it past them avoiding a 10 point deduction and dropping a couple of leagues again this year. Whichever way its looked at Mr Evans, you are down, we are not and in true justifiable circumstances, Daggers are up. :thefinger :flasher8:

Glad to see AFC Telford are climbing back as well (even though that was Conference and not football league, its an example I thought should be highlighted none the less)

Re: Boston saga continues
 

Still to be annouced by the F.A. When Bostons Points will be deducted.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

It looks like the League anticipated what might happen and marked Boston's Card so it does not look a foregone conclusion that the 10 points will come off this Season.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ed/6626309.stm

Joke current at MK yesterday was that Boston probably had an accountant on the bench.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

And it still continues - BBC Sport pages saying Conference "considering" whether to accept Boston for next season in view of recent shennanigans.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

everybody join a PMSL, ROFLMAO, LOL conga at Boston!

Re: Boston saga continues
 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ed/6670393.stm

Looks as though points deduction will be applied to last season's tally.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

...which means we finished 14 points above the relegation zone! Who said it was a close shave?!! ;)

Re: Boston saga continues
 

what a joke....... go into administration and avoid any sanction:mad:

perhaps in such circumstances 5 points now and 5 next season would be more effective???

may be things will change........http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6670777.stm

Re: Boston saga continues
 

I heard The Conference isn't excepting them,instead Crawley Town stop in the Conference and are not relegated.So would I be right in thinking that possibly will also keep them out of Conference North/South,not sure which one they would come under being near Lincoln?So it could be Unibond for them:D

Re: Boston saga continues
 

As soon as the league failed to take any action against Leeds then they also had to accept that what Boston did was within the same league rules.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

I don't think the conference will be able to find a reason to refuse them entry.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

Thats the rumours going around on FC's forum and it sounds ligit with them saying Crawley are staying put.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

Think there's a few rumours going round at the moment regarding the subject but I think it's more mischief making than people in the know. The official conference site refers to Boston as the Blue Square Premier league new boys.

Crawley's issues are something to with having gone in to administration previously and there were doubts about there elegilbilty. They weren't amongst the relegated clubs.

Re: Boston saga continues
 

You may be right Dave.I''l check on the other Forums I go on later and see if there is any info on them.They use them newsbot things and there could be something.Can't as yet though I'm on PC all my links to my Footy forums are on the laptop.
