Stanley Safe

[Exile on Spencer St]

It would have to be a deduction of ten points to put the Wombles in danger. Seem to recall Stanley faced this problem during the reign of Professor Coleman, but can't recall the outcome, assuming I'm remembering correctly?

12 Grand fine (half of that suspended) and that was for TWO players.

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Accrington Stanley | Accrington avoid points deduction

 

[Lost in Cornwall]

Normal punishment is a fine and any points gained from the matches in which the ineligible player played deducted. However, a Premier League Club (Sunderland I think) have avoided the points deduction this season on the grounds that it was a misunderstanding over international clearance so depends on why he was ineligible and the stance the Football League take.

Could be the same "international" excuse as I believe the lad came from a Scottish team.

 

[AccyMad]

I read that the lad had played in two games after the Cheltenham one so IF the FA are consistent it would be a nine point deduction - probably not enough to put them in direct danger but maybe enough to make them a tad nervous

How do yeh get that conclusion if it was 9pts Di? Sure they got 56 pts?? so 9 off that would be direct danger?? unless i'm missing summat?

 

[Chimer]

If AccyMad's right, they only got 4 points in those 3 games, so surely wouldn't be deducted more than that?

Then again, this is football administration we're talking about so anything could happen!

Ianray reckons we are safe.
If it's good enough for ian, its good enough for me

Sorry if I confused you Cashy, wasn't sure how many points the wombles had amassed & like someone else has said if they do get a points deduction it might just be how many they gained in the three games the lad played in - we'll just have to wait & see, think their hearing is on 28th April

Ray,
When are you and chubbyman going to make it up?
Why don't you book a table for 2 at the crown and talk it over?

Table for 3, surely, with you as chairman, peacemaker and referee?

 

[DAV007]

Always happy to help.

Back on topic, I hope Wycombe, Torquay and Northampton all win, I can't see Exeter getting anything against Scunthorpe.

If Exeter go down I will be buying a season ticket instead of a flexi

 

[Pendle Red]

Regardless of mathematics I would rather see us see the Season out with a Bang rather than a whimper and look to get at least get four points from the remaining two games and head into the Summer on a high.

 

[bdc]

Think we have a good opportunity to beat Oxford this weekend, they seem to be on a bad run at the minute. Would be nice to beat them for once and retain our league status at the same time.
