forums.footballwebpages.co.uk/forum.jsp?id=27&article=1480Sutton fans can make their own mind up on this whether they'd have preferred their local derby or a chance to laugh at Carshalton some more. For us it affected whether Leigh RMI joined us or not, as they won't be Gratham are moving accross to the Unibond.

The unofficial announcement seems to think it won't work though, not sure how much youcan read into it though as I just found it on Buckschat now.

I hope Carshalton lose the appeal myself, I enjoyed my trip to Leigh! ( Oh and we won there!  ) |

Yup, still appealing over it, sounds like Leigh actually want to be relegated.   Could be taken to High Court in the end apparently. |

Taken from yesterday's Non League Daily website:
Carshalton Athletic have appealed to the Football Association and threatened to take them to the High Court if they do not reverse the club's relegation from Nationwide South.
Roger Searle, the Robins' chief executive, believes the FA have broken their own rules after failing to grant his club a reprieve following Canvey Island's withdrawal from the Conference National.
Canvey's decision to drop into the Ryman League and Tamworth's subsequent reprieve from relegation from the Conference National created an extra space at Nationwide South/North level.
FA rules dictate the relegated team with the best record at this level should win a reprieve.
Carshalton finished with one point more than their Nationwide North counterparts, yet it was Leigh RMI who escaped relegation when the FA anno-unced next season's non-League structure.
"We were shocked by this announcement," said Searle.
"It is clear that the FA have broken their rules.
"In our opinion, they have made this decision out of expediency and I believe we have a very strong case."
The FA have caused controversy through the non-League Pyramid with their restructuring plans.
Midlands clubs had been campaigning for their own league, while Ryman League Division One clubs flirting with relegation had been unclear as to their fate even after the season had ended.
Corinthian Casuals, who finished bottom of Ryman One, escaped relegation after the division was doubled in size couple with the dropping out of Banstead Athletic.
With such confusion, coupled with Canvey's last minute decision, Searle believes that the FA chose the easiest rather than the right course of action.
"Tamworth should have been playing in Nationwide North, so it seems the FA have decided to let off the team that was due to be relegated from Nationwide North," he said.
"That is clearly not on.
"If the FA wanted to change their rules that decision should have been voted on by all Conference sides.
"They should have called an extraordinary annual general meeting and they didn't.
"I assume they wanted to speed up the process, but it will now take two or three weeks to hear our appeal.
"The Ryman League has called an extraordinary AGM when I expect them to support us. I also understand Leigh RMI are not happy with the decision they actually wanted to be relegated.
"If the FA do not grant our appeal we will seek legal advice and will take them to the High Court if necessary."
An FA spokesman confirmed an FA Board of Appeal would consider the points raised by Carshalton "in accordance with Conference rules."

Taken from yesterday's Non League Daily website: "Tamworth should have been playing in Nationwide North...." At this moment in time, there isn't a scrap of truth in that statement. |

Taken from yesterday's Non League Daily website: "Tamworth should have been playing in Nationwide North...." At this moment in time, there isn't a scrap of truth in that statement. Are we being just a teeny bit sensitive about the fact that our team (As in YOUR team) will be playing at a higher level than their on-pitch performances warrant - all because of a few money problems elsewhere, then Jase??  Would have been Conf North - if not for Canvey - o Or Altrincham for that matter?? I expect you'll be playoff bound next season then. |

No, he's saying that unless Altrichams appeal against the points deduction is successful, then Tamworth actually shouldn't have been playing in Conf North next season, as they finished third from bottom in a league where only 2 teams were to be relegated...

As you well know, on the final day of the season TFC finished above the relegation places. Now if you don't want to consider fielding an ineligible player as an 'on field' matter, that is your look out. TFC managed to get through the season without breaking any rules, without the need for a 'sugar daddy' and without the benefit of massive media hype offered to some other teams. Even if the FA decide to rewrite the Conference rulebook to benefit a team seemingly incapable of operating in such a professional league as the Conference, the assertion that TFC would be relegated to the Northern section of the feeder leagues is not necessarily correct. The club could easily operate in the Southern half of the country, as it did when easing to the league title a few seasons ago. |
