That's the same rule Kidderminster and Histon fell foul of.

It's very difficult to find out exactly what the rule is.

It's easy enough to find a copy of the FA rules on their website, but the Conference seems to prefer to keep its rulebook much more private.

It will be interesting to know how the rule breach came to light - in the other three cases (Kiddy, Redditch and Histon) the clubs seem to have owned up themselves.

That's probably because the Conference board is a group of little people full of their own self importance.

I seriously have never understood why football clubs get deducted points, if it happened to any other BIG club then they would get a slap on the wrist that's about it.

Have we been fed a load of bullshit here or what? First the transfer embargo would be sorted within a week, before the Wrexham game, next we're facing a points deduction?

Will it be 5 points? Can't access the link on my phone.

The article doesn't say what the potential punishment may be. The Club was charged on March 9th and has 14 days to respond.

I echo your thoughts though BR....just what exactly is going on :?:
