If it was for dissent then isn't this just a one match suspension which apparently he served last April? I suppose Daventry would have been aware?

Yes Kingy has got a brother at Daventry & yes they have won look-a-like competitions.

He received a two match suspension for his red card on 9 April. This commenced 14days after the sending off. Therefore he should be suspended for:
Daventry Town v Leighton Town (23 April - last game of season)
Daventry Town v Ashford Town (17 August - first game of season)

He is therefore unable to play until these games have been completed.
This is confirmed on the FA website

Thanks for explaining that Noddy. I can see how the confusion has arisen.
