Hatfield Town Repreived

[Munchkin]

Broxbourne players turned up for pre season training Tuesday to be told the news.

 

Same thing happened when i was at Tring Town.

[Jonno]

Chairman Chris Maloney was understandably delighted with the announcement.

He said: “I got a call from the [sSML] chairman, who asked if we were able to play in the Premier Division, with the correct ground-grading and the like.

 

 

I will obviously be writing to the league, askin them to reassess Hatfields facilities and their suitability for Premier League football...... ; )

SPARTAN SOUTH MIDLANDS FOOTBALL LEAGUE

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING

25^th June 2012

 

Present: Mr P Burns (Chair); Messrs. N Ingram, J Thompson, E Harrison, M Ewen,

P Rolt, R Flight, D Henman, B Scholes, T Forrester, T Weight, W Hamilton, T Gilmore, T Weight, J Bean and B Smith

 

1. Apologies for absence.

 

1.1. Apologies were recorded from Messrs. M Mitchell and M Taylor.

 

2. Constitution issues.

 

2.1. The Chairman reported that Broxbourne Borough had advised that the previous owners of the club had left the club with large debts, which may necessitate them placing the club into liquidation unless other financial backing can be found.

 

This meant that London Lions, who ground share at Broxbourne Borough, may not have a ground to play on next season unless the position is resolved quickly.

 

London Lions had expressed their concern at the situation and wished to stabilise their position in the near future. In this respect they had requested dispensation to play Saturday home games at their Rowley Lane headquarters, which does not have floodlights, with mid week matches being played at Hemel Hempstead Town for next season. The club had advised that they were in the process of applying for planning permission for facilities required for Step 6, but did not expect this to be resolved quickly.

 

The Committee considered their position, which was not of their own making, and decided to grant dispensation for this for next season only, with Saturday kick off times set to reflect the fact that they do not have floodlights.

Any idea as to what will happen with the vacancy that has now been created in Division 1?

 

Also, where will AFC Broxbourne Borough V&E play their fixtures next season?

I assume the FA know about this as their Cup draws are being made tomorrow.

Who are you hoping Haringey Borough draw tomorrow, hopefully it won't be a fellow SSML Club

You should never want a bye. No chance of picking up some much needed cash if a victory is achieved.

Very sad news to read. Looks like they've been caught where dozens of clubs flout their license regulations & get away with it.

Sad also for other clubs as it was always a great surface to play on.

I still don't agree with all this reprieve business. If a club is in the relegation zone, it should be relegated. Hoddesdon performed on the pitch last season & their 3rd place should be rewarded.

It will be interesting to see if BB V&E will reform with the same management team & squad.

I'm trying to humor Rhodes.

Hoddesdon Town were not in a promotion spot to come up.

 

People need to understand that promotion and relegation is unfortunately not always decided on a teams finishing position.

 

Ground grading and finances will always play a part in who goes up and who stays down.

 

Everyone knows where they stand and the beginning of each season on this as the Rules cover any given situation..........or they should do.

There's no precedence for promotion from third? There must be

If a situation arises which is not covered in the Competition Rules then the Competition may decide at the AGM to alter the Constitution with a proposal either to the Clubs or from the Clubs. This may also occur at an EGM.

 

As for the precedence that you have stated, you will have to get a reply from someone who has been involved in the SSML a lot longer than me as I don't recall any occasion where this has happened.

As previously stated in this thread

 

"in accordance with FA Regulations, when a vacancy occurs a club that has been relegated is reprieved" - same thing happens with all the repreives at step 4.
