Rothwell on the brink

[Reading Rebel]

On the eve of our visit tomorrow, it appears Rothwell are on the brink of going bust. They have reportedly got 7 to 10 days to find a financial backer or they will cease to exist.

 

The blame for this is put down to a social club that has been badly managed for a number of years.

 

As it stands, if this were to happen, we would be docked 3 points, bearing in mind they are due to play Sutton Coldfield on Monday.

[Reading Rebel]

If Rothwell do go bust one saving grace would be that Chesham would be docked 6 points.

Good to see that we care so much about another club failing that we're thinking about how it would help us. Bloody hell.

I hope they can find someone. Its horrible as matt says.

 

Dont forget we were almost there ourselves

I think you should calm down a bit Matt.

 

Of course myself or any right minded person would not want Rothwell or any team to go bust.

 

I was just repeating the facts as they have been reported and the possible consequences to ourselves and Chesham.

The FA sends out a list of 'standard rules' to the leagues affiliated to it; these rules cannot be changed except if they involve a fine or points deduction, which are the only things that can be varied. It's No. 12© in the rulebooks of a couple of the local leagues. It says:

 

'In the event of a team not completing 75% of its fixtues for the season, all points obtained by or recorded against such defaulting teams shall be expunged from the Competition Table.'

 

 

Lets hope that they get to play 4 more games :-)
