UNIBOND LEAGUE PRESS RELEASE

Statement Issued By The Northern Premier League In Conjunction With TheFootball Conference And The Southern Football League

 

The above three Leagues have received notification from James Chapman & Co, Solicitors acting on behalf of the Isthmian Football League, of its intention to seek through arbitration to vary or rescind the decision of the Football Association of 21st June 2003 relating to a national structure of 1-2-3-4 competitions from season 2004/2005.

 

The Football Conference, together with the Northern Premier League and Southern Football League, is disappointed that the Isthmian League seek the destruction of the Alliance that has achieved so much since March this year.

 

With the full support of the 69 eligible clubs and majority support from the rest of football the Alliance is complying with the FA's decision to implement a fair and just structure for the benefit of the top 205 clubs in the national league system. Furthermore an additional 15 clubs from the next level will benefit by way of promotion to the new structure.

 

Whatever the outcome of the Isthmian League's actions significant legal costs will be incurred which will indirectly have to be funded by member clubs at the very time football is seeking to preserve its finances whilst progressing the game at all levels in the national Leagues.
