I see Farsley Celtic have been kicked out the Conference after going into administration.

They now have nowhere to play. But the Unibond Premier is a team short after the Newcastle Blue Star fiasco and the fixtures aren't out yet, so wouldn't it be sensible to just let Farsley fill the gap in the Unibond Premier? Or is that just too sensible? :o
It would be nice for me - another very easy trip from Leeds!
-
Unfortunately you are applying commonsense and logic to solve the problem. The Conference, Unibond and FA never seem to base their decisions on any of these factors! I should say by the time Farsley have had their appeal our fixtures will be published, though it would make sense to put them in our league.
-
no surely logic will prevail and they will be put in the unibond
-
....logic?
If it happened, then Halifax Town would have a bit of a case? How about sticking Farsley in division 1 and bringing Cammell Laird back?
-
Well if they did go into the Unibond all the fixtures would be fudged up so they will have to re-do them so they will be delayed.
Also, there will be no AGM so how will they be accepted? Who knows?

There as already been a responce on this issue.
Farsley will NOT be in the the unidump, as said earlier commen sence dont apply to the FA/CONFRENCE/UNIBOND.

Agreed - bring back the Lairds, their supporters were good value on the last day of the season, and at least it gives us a better chance of 6 points.. wouldn't fancy playing farsley if they hold on to the players they've signed so far this pre-season.

I haven't posted on here for a while, but the manner in which Football's governing bodies - particularly in Non-League - are treating some of their clubs really is appalling...
... Ourselves last season
... Halifax Town
... Nuneaton
... Luton Town
... King's Lynn
... Cammell Laird
... Gloucester City
... Northwich Victoria
... and now Farsley Celtic
and I'm sure I must have missed some other teams out. Is there any chance of the chairmen of the majority of non-league clubs coming together and issuing a vote of no confidence in those who administer our sport?
Luton aside, a ten point deduction is generally considered good enough for any Premiership or Championship sides that break the rules. Why can't the same apply in non-league? The leagues' insistence on forcing clubs to play in lower and lower leagues (leaving odd numbers of teams in some competitions) is purely and simply showing a total disregard to the supporters who follow those teams.
Sorry if this has turned into a rant.
-
Or look at it the other way round, If the top two divisions treated teams in much the same way, then maybe as big clubs tumble through the leagues due to the stupid debts they are building up, they would start to realise how eliteist they have all been and start to return the funds to the lower leagues.
-
Back to the FA again----------Great. It's full of folks who want to feel important by throwing their weight about and crushing the minnows. They seem to have little understanding of the lower leagues and like to attack the defenceless. They don't seem to throw that weight around so much at league sides, probably because they are in a better position to fight back.
Shame about Farsley cos their handful of supporters at our game certainly brought a smile to my face.

It's been announced today that Farsley Celtic WILL be allowed to take their place in BSN next season,following the Conference seeking "legal clarification" regarding the infamous Appendix E.That's two demotions they've had to backtrack on where they tried to impliment the same "rule" they used to demote us..............

Yeah with the first one I was pretty 'ah well, shit happens' but to continue to reprieve teams when our case was turned away seems to smack of a vendetta.
