Shenanigans in the Ryman League

[Kel]

Taken from the league website:

 

LEYTON F.C.

 

The Ryman League has been left with no alternative but to postpone tomorrow's Division One North fixture between Leyton and Redbridge because of the actions of the landlords of the Hare and Hounds ground.

 

Leyton FC accept they were late with the September quarter's rent, as a result of which bailiffs locked out the Club from their ground this week.

 

The Club delivered to their own solicitors sufficient funds to cover the arrears, interest and bailiff's fees, however the landlords have refused to accept the money, thereby forcing the Club to issue an application to their County Court.

 

The Club is unable to play on another ground due to the fact that all their kit and equipment is locked in the ground.

 

The League hopes that this will be resolved very soon and the Club allowed back into their ground.

 

and:

 

HILLINGDON BOROUGH F.C.

 

Hillingdon Borough FC have appeared before the Emergency Committee of the League to answer charges arising out of their Division One North League match at East Thurrock United on 30 September.

 

In addition to the Club arriving late for the fixture and not having a full team, it had been alleged that statements were made by a Club Official during half time in the match which may have influenced the score.

 

The Club have been fined for offences relating to their late arrival and to having only ten players.

 

The hearing of a further charge of bringing the League into disrepute has been postponed until the former team manager has appeared before the Committee.

 

Seems it's all happening!
