@PTMarkPlummer: Huntingdon and Sleaford have both been thrown out of the FA Cup, I understand #ucl #nonlge

Good hope they are, just £250 fine is an embarrassment :twisted:

I will be taking my 7 year old daughter on Saturday and if something simular was to happen the Mrs would never let me take her again. I was worried last week when Clarke (?) was having a cuddle with a Dunstable player on the floor.
I think £250 is very weak and only one red card was issued.
Kicked out of the FA Cup should be for next year as well.

It's like the fa has bottled it. £250 is feeble, even if it is a club at our level. You are talking about a 25 man brawl, not a little play around. As a real punishment they should have been hit hard in the pocket, surely nearer the £1000 mark would have been far more suitable, plus removing their previous rounds money (if I am correct)

Even being thrown out bet they are laughing! :evil:

Sleaford statement says they may appeal, sorry if they joined in a brawl they as bad as the team that started it, walk away your winning.
And confirmed they have been fined £150 FFS thats just a tenner off each player. Joke.

Huntingdon have got off especially lightly, given they were only 5 minutes from being out of the cup anyway.

Exactly what I expected - the FA haven't got the best track record for dealing with this kind of thing - I expected them expelled from this years competition and a small fine, that's what's happened. The right of appeal is a joke !! You watch them go and reinstate sleaford now!

If they are chucked out do they loose any prize money won so far :?: if so the fine is £250 + £3425 + another £3000 for whichever one of them had been the winner. Sure the £3000 will not be paid but almost as sure our wonderful weak FA will probably give them the £3425 each. Entire thing a joke but then did any of us expect anything else :oops: Sure Bob is on the case & the UCL will put the both on a disrepute charge with £10,000 fines and expulsion from the league :roll:
