Club Statement: Points Deduction Upheld

Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in our appeal to overturn the three point deduction, and £100 fine, for fielding an ineligible player at the start of the season.

Glossop North End have also launched their own appeal and as a result we will replay the fixture at a future date to be confirmed, in addition to the three point deduction. The rules do not allow the three points we lose to be awarded to them, so this is their only opportunity to benefit from the situation.

We do not intend to charge season ticket holders to attend this rearranged fixture, subject to league approval.

As previously stated we are disappointed at the outcome, but keen to move on and continue our promotion push.
