a bigger suspended sentance would have been fairer. however we do not know if a precidant has been set by another club before we were charged in years gone by. i,m sure a team was kicked out of the FA Cup some years ago on a similar incident to ours, a non playing sub.

We were kicked out of the then JPT Trophy for fielding Ray Putterill who had been given a ban whilst playing Sunday league football that we didn't know about

Ray Putterill what a player he could have been without his recurring back problems potentially could have been one of our best midfielder,s ever shame.

It is a breach but the mitigation arguments - one day out, due to game being moved, player an unused sub - surely "don't let it happen again / slap on wrists" would have been enough.

I Definitely wouldn't pay this one based on the fact that it was the FL who changed the date of the match, not the clubs, not SKY and not GOD but the EFL
themselves so surely its their responsibility to keep the paperwork up to date and at the very least send the club a reminder and not go trawling for misdemeanours that they can then at a later date issue fines for.

Alas, in these situations, fair play, justice & common sense are low on the EFL agenda.
What is on their agenda is raising cash. It would be of interest to know exactly how much of their annual revenue comes from fines?
 
A sensible EFL, acting in its members' interests, as one would expect, would have anticipated this situation when they changed the season's end-date and given teams a gentle reminder to check the final dates of players' contracts. After all, they have this information on their records.

In other situations, it might even be regarded as a deliberate ‘sting’ by an unscrupulous agency to screw money out of punters.
How much notice did the EFL give of the enforced date change?
 
Ipswich Town in the relegation zone some fans on their forum already questioning Cook,s management reign and who could do a better job the perils of being a " big " club.
 
Just seen what J.C. says on fishy, we must get back to creating 9 or 10 chances in a match, i fail to see how we can do that if we are booting the ball upfield instead of playing it.???
 
Does anyone out there know where the winning ticket number for the 50-50 half- time draw can be found after the match?
I can’t find anything on the Stanley or the OASSC web sites.
I never heard the announcement at the Barrow game, nor saw it on the ‘big’ ;) screen, if it’s displayed there.
 
Wonder what's wrong with our giant screen needs sorting if possible. Is there a valid warranty ?

Was drawn live on the pitch and announced immediately.
Put on the scoreboard and on five A3 posters which are put by the exits and behind the Farleys stand.
Always claimed either before full time or afterwards in the club shop.
