[Mrs Warbouys]

Dover fined 40 grand, all results expunged for this season. 12 point deduction for next season

[Toff Apple]

I think the fine will drive them under, cant see them starting next year so the league will be 2 teams short

[cheshire cat]

I would have thought they could crowd fund that if they made enough noise about it.

I think they've got away cheaply imo. Laurence Looney said the other night it would cost us £200,000 to complete the season so they're being fined 20% of that plus their savings on players wages.
They should have been demoted to at least NLS which would balance the numbers out at 22 in all three divisions.

Agree, they got off pretty lightly.

[Inter Alty!]

Guess expunging all their results was way forward to let other teams play on on an equal playing field (fines, demotions, etc effect them directly on top of having results nulified)... we drop 2 places as a result...

That would have involved common sense.

I blame Adarabioyo for scoring at Dover.

If only Byron Harrison had been playing instead, we would now have had just a single point deducted.

I see NLN and NLS teams that refused to play have been fined £2,000 a game missed.

Meanwhile Spirites have been successful in gaining a £1M loan.

[Saughall Robin]

That's £50K a year over 20 years! They really are doing S or B aren't they?
Bit incongruous with putting several players on furlough whilst signing several more.
Didn't they asset strip the Gloucester side after promising not to as well?
Doesn't seem to be the home of integrity, Chesterfield, does it?

They owe another £1m to the council. I wouldn't have thought the terms would have been so good.

[Sale Holmfield]

Apparently, according to Sky, Dover are planning to appeal and will take legal advice.
But I thought they had  no money and had spent all their reserves....

Crooked spire, crooked club ?

I agree.....let off lightly. Cost them 40k and 12 points to avoid spending a couple of hundred thousand pounds.

Then again, to add a bit of controversy, they did vote to end the season when the Grant's were ended and potential loans offered. Clubs that voted to carry on in what may now be a dead rubber are now incurring costs they knew existed at the time of voting
