Not the rules mate, they have to reprieve the best placed higher level relegated side i.e. Stamford, that then means they have to do all that buggering about.
Know where you're coming from though.

Re: Non-League News
Common sense prevails. If Cinderford didn't want promotion they should be playing at step 5. Also I'm sure that the likes of Taunton, who pushed them hard all season, are furious at their behaviour.Glyn wrote:Lee tells me that Evesham's appeal has succeeded!Lee K wrote:I accept that, in this case, Stamford have been reprieved when they should have been relegated.

Re: Non-League News
Agreed. I'm getting much agreement on social media to the (obvious?!) suggestion that the rules need changing so that if a club in a promotion place opts out or doesn't meet the criteria, the next club down should take it. No reprieves for relegated clubs.Perton Pitman wrote: Common sense prevails. If Cinderford didn't want promotion they should be playing at step 5.

They do this in a country near England....

30 grand HMRC debt! Sound like they threw money at their promotion push and lived beyond their means. Hard to feel sympathy for them!

...and obviously Flyde have never attempted any underhand shenanigans in an attempt to capture a player. I seem to remember Neil Harvey. being the subject of interest from them. The tripling of wages! I wonder what on earth their wage bill is like!
