3 point deduction

[lovely stuff]

LS - The club would be mad to boycott FA Trophy or FA Cup. A good run in either of these comps raises profile of club and prize money is good.

 

I am gutted the appeal was unsuccessful but not surprised (like most people I think) - when the old club were denied promotion because of the infamous "balance sheet" the team was kept together and we were so unlucky not to go up the following season... goal difference!!!!

 

I think we need to use this as motivation for next season. If Brad can keep the team together and with one or two additions to freshen things up there is no reason we can't challenge for the title giving our form in the 2nd half of the season. That would be a real protest to the FA'S decision!!!!

Fair point..Boycotting FA/Ryman Schemes and Signage would still be an option.So would applying to the Southern League.

All the leagues use standard rules so switching leagues - even if it could be done - wouldn't achieve anything. Once the FA made its decision the league's hands were tied.

Sorry to hear your news chaps...perhaps the only good thing to come

out of this, is maybe the FA/RL's database might be upgraded from

quill and ink to something a tad more robust...

...I shall not be indulging in any breath holding though....

 

Wishing you well

Ok then, lets just put the last few weeks played-out off the field down to experience, shall we?

 

I reckon we would've lost to Hendon anyway, so no harm done!

 

Chin up lads!

[cup of tea]

Very sorry for you, but you've got a good team and a good setup.

 

All the best for next season.

We will never know. Did we not do the double over them?

I read yesterday that three of the clubs involved in the play offs will now be looking for compensation from Enfield for added expenses due to the delay .

They've won all the cup games between ourselves, we've won all the league games. Is the play-off semi a cup or a league game?

Where did you read this?  I know that Met Police are seeking compensation, but from the FA

Classy response from Met Police manager Jim Cooper

I've not seen that anywhere. I read that they would be seeking compensation from the FA. Not sure how ETFC could be held responsible for exercising their legal right to appeal.
