The B-Ark / Nuneaton's appeal has been dismissed

« on: April 22, 2016, 07:00:49 PM »

An FA Appeal Board has today [Friday 22 April 2016] dismissed an appeal from Nuneaton Town in relation to a decision by the National League to deduct the club three points for fielding an unregistered player.

The charge, which the club admitted, was in relation to Nuneaton’s National League North fixture against Corby Town on 27 February 2016, which Nuneaton won 3-1. The League issued a sanction of a deduction of the three points gained from the fixture and a fine of £250.

Nuneaton appealed to The FA on the grounds that the League misinterpreted or failed to comply with the rules or regulations relevant to its decision.

However, this claim was dismissed by The FA Appeal Board and the full decision of the National League remains in place.

Was a certain former goalkeeper of ours not hauled off at half-time with the score at 3-0?

The B-Ark / Histon in trouble?

« on: November 16, 2012, 11:43:10 AM »

They're apparently unable to fulfil their fixture at Colwyn Bay tomorrow and are "taking immediate professional financial advice". Bad times...

The B-Ark / Club to make official announcement at 3pm

« on: June 01, 2012, 12:28:09 PM »

What do we think? News about the new stadium?

Or have we breached Conference rule: Appendix 117.4.1 x pi x r (squared) and been demoted again?

The B-Ark / Kettering Town demoted to Southern League

« on: May 23, 2012, 08:17:37 PM »

That's the news coming out of their fans' forum tonight.

Presumably, with Darlington going straight through the division as well, Bishop's Stortford will remain in Conference North and we'll have Oxford City to visit too.

The B-Ark / Leon Constantine

« on: December 23, 2011, 05:58:58 PM »

Not sure how reliable the source is, but apparently we've signed Constantine from Lewes:

http://nonleague.pitchero.com/news/much-travelled-striker-joins-boston-9300/

Presumably the i's haven't been dotted & the t's crossed or else Craig would have announced it officially but it does match the "LC" initials that were mentioned on here (sorry, can't remember who by!) a couple of weeks ago.

He was prolific for Port Vale but that was a few years ago now.
