Appeal 'Out of Time'
30 March 2010 http://www.footballconference.co.uk/news/3092/Appeal_Out_of_Time.html The appeal lodged by a number of member clubs of the Football Conference against the decision of the Board to expunge the record of Chester City has been declared by the Football Association to be "out of time". In respect of the appeal lodged originally, it was the claim by the solicitors acting on behalf of the said clubs, that the decision to expunge had not been made until the 8th March 2010 when the record was actually expunged. This was countered by the Football Conference Board stating that they had made and published the decision on 26th February 2010, the very day that Chester City were expelled by the member clubs and the decision to expunge their playing record was (a) subject of a press release circulated at 4.45pm that same day and (b) subject of a email circulation to all member clubs at 4.49pm that day and also published on the official Football Conference web-site at the same time. The letter from the FA sent today (30th March 2010) to the solicitors acting for those clubs lodging the appeal concludes: "The FA is satisfied that the decision of the Board of the Football Conference was first announced by the League on 26th February 2010 and, consequently, the Appeal is out of time". ------------ Crawley Withdraw From Appeal 29 March 2010 http://www.footballconference.co.uk Appeal clubs now down to seven.... In respect of the appeal lodged by member clubs against the decision of the Board of the Football Conference to expunge the record of Chester City, it is now announced that Crawley Town has officially withdrawn from the original ten clubs who submitted this appeal. This now leaves seven clubs to pursue the matter with the Football Association. ------------------------------- |
