Don't write the Fleet off yet

[David Holden]

We may have lost 2-1 yesterday, but word is seeping out that the Huddersfield side that played may not have been 100% kosher.<p>The story is that Leon Knight who scored the last minute winner was only given permission to play by Chelsea on the night before the game. The rules state that for an on loan player wriiten permission must be given and passed to the FA 7 days before the due date on the match.<p>Clearly this hasn't been done and we will be contacting the FA for clarification tomorrow.<p>Maybe we will be on our way to Mansfield rather than sitting at home wondering what to do with our day off.

Sorry to see that you lost.<p>Good luck with the appeal - let us know how it goes.

What price the FA ordering a replay if one of the Huddersfield players was ineligible?

[Andy the Marsh Rat]

Yes good luck we need a bit of company

[David Holden]

Shouldn't be a replay but a kicking out. There is precedent this season in Banbury v Ware in the preliminary round.

Well since your lot sodded up our saturday by winning (Good on yer) We have nothing to do on December 8th so we might as well play Mansfield.<p>I agree it's not the best way to win, but having lost one that way, I don't have any problem with it all <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Well you can write us off now.<p>The FA have confirmed that Knight was registered in time.
