We could send each of the members on today's FA panel a Stafford Rangers season ticket for next year.

That would teach them.

Do we know who was actually on the panel which came up with this decision?

Possibly the same imbeciles who appointed Steve McClaren?

I'm sorry but failing to see funny side. We have lost MONEY and went through a lot of stress last season and for something that coudl have been avoided.

If I was a director I would be after compensation.

ITS A F*CKING DISGRACE

Just to re-iterate something i said before, any compo we receive should surely go towards Mike Woodward and the bill he footed on our behalf.


There were tears shed last season by a lot of people over this decision, games and great days for the club (Grays H) were ruined by the saga that ensued in the whole fiasco. Our appeal was turned down on grounds that now seem to be acceptable.

The FA.

But for a huge amount of fortune we would now be struggling (and make no mistake we WOULD be struggling) in Conf North.

Thomson has cost us money but not directly endangered our Conference status.

For what has been reported, it was three senior people from the FA, picked randomly within their department.  I dont think these were the same that formed the panel against us.

Gary, i can see your frustrations, but the decision against us was correct according to the rules of the game, despite how ludicrous these rules are.
What the club should now try and do is to seek out why the other decisions have been made that contravine the rules of the game as set down by the FA. I doubt the FA will do anything over our costs, or point deduction, but should accept their system is flawed. However as a small club in a low division, we lack the clout that larger clubs have.

the decision was correct until what has happened to AFC Wimbledon and Accrington. The decision now holds no grounds.

I will not let this lie. Its a disgrace.

I'm more angry now than I have ever been at Colin Peake.

We have basically been stitched up and Accy have got away with it all TWICE

I won't let this lie. Radio 5 live , Sky, BBC and everything for me.

Hopefully we will get their support as everyone hates the FA at the moment for appointing McClaren so maybe something else they could add to make the FA look like a shambles.

Thats the problem gary, when the AFC one was released, i emailed sky, radio 5 etc, saying how different these decisions were. Through the whole debate, NO ONE mentioned Altrincham or the decision previously taken by the FA. The press have been utterly slow to connect these things.

As i see it, the decision against us was right (even though it was overly harsh, but the rules are there, and unfortunately DO NOT TAKE ANY MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES INTO CONSIDERATION) however the decisions for AFC, and accrington are WRONG. I agree something needs to be done, and have said below i feel the club should be doing. Im sure the FA will try to fob us off with an excuse for their disgusting behaviour and agree other avenues should be looked to question why the FA continually make different decisions for the same offence.

Whether it was a right or wrong decision for us, all I ask for is CONSISTANCY.

It does seem like a one rule for one and one for another and I can not accept that.

Still not calmed down.

Maybe now that Accy and AFC wimbledon have had decision and that little englanders are annoyed at the FA it might be mentioned ?
