Conference rules require them to pay all creditors in full by 2nd Sat in May (as they went into admin during the season). They haven't and so they've been booted out of the Conference, effectively demoting them at least two divisions. Incredibly harsh especially as the Conference are due to change the rules at their AGM in June to new regs which Salisbury's CVA would comply with.

Hopefully they'll get a successful appeal then.

Unlikely I'd have thought, they're hanging judges in the Conference. And anyway, the primary aim of these rules is to ensure that each year Forest Green can get relegated and reprieved because someone or other has fallen foul of the financial regs and been kicked out.

Yeah, but they've been taken over by new owners since then. They had their 10 points deduction for entering admin under the old lot, then got taken over. And it was the new lot who had to arrange the CVA, do the financial restructuring etc. And just when they get everything back on an even keel they get walloped with this.

To be fair to Forest Green, I think that has happened once (2004/5?) during their 12 seasons in the Conference.

Well it will be twice this season. I wasn't really having a go at FGR, though, it was supposed to be tongue in cheek. But actually now I think about it, I might have been confusing them with Altrincham. Bugger.

Anyway, seems a bit rough on Salisbury was my main gist.

No, Forest Green - if they can afford it and are still operating!

They are harsh on clubs financial irregularities down there.

That was why it was so important we never got on that slippery slope.
