Dave Deacon Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 As you can see in the Announcements folder the FA have announced this afternoon that this season will be declared void for all leagues at Steps 3 to 7. If you go that page, there is a pdf to open and read more about it.. Meanwhile, the SWPL will make a further statement later today. Cups are not covered by this FA news.

Lovely gesture 👍 Well done Helston ! that should put the lid on the suggestion that next season will see you bankrupt because of your investments this season past. What a lot of naughty boys you have there, running up fines of £6,000 ! or were they just contributing to one heck of an end of season bash. Are there other clubs able to do this sort of thing ? if so lets hear about it. No excuses ! if correct it appears that this money comes from the players, not a wealthy benefactor as some are likely to suggest.

Ian Pethick Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 So, if season 2019/20 is expunged, would any suspensions hanging over from season 2018/19 that were served at the beginning of this (expunged) season, now be reinstated?

hoppit Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 How can you be suspended if the season doesn't count? That makes no sense. Expunged means obliterated completely all data and records do not count so that must include misdemeanors for the said season, it would be illegal to suspend anyone. Can't happen .

Leroy Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 15 minutes ago, hoppit said: How can you be suspended if the season doesn't count? That makes no sense. Quite simply because the FA have been very careful with their wording in stating 'all results are expunged'. No where have I seen 'the season doesn't count' as I would envisage the FA will use the season's performance of teams for 20/21 FA Competitions e.g. FA Cup. Given the careful wording I would also say all suspensions stand with no opening for clubs thinking they can be reimbursed for 19/20 fines. On a personal note to those leagues / clubs considering legal action against the FA. Wake up, look at what's going on around you. Now over 1,000 deaths in The UK from COVID-19.

John Mead Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 The details/records which are being expunged are those of the various Leagues and not those of the FA or County FAs. Discipline is not part of a League's responsibility so any suspensions not yet served will carry over to next season - whenever that might be! The number of accumulated yellow cards is not carried over; each season starts from scratch - unless players have already reached a trigger point for automatic suspension which has not been fully served.

We Two Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 The way we see things is that a positive attitude will always come to the top eventually. There are plenty of cynics in this world who will assume that because you haven't told them what's happening they will assume that nothing is happening, and a golden opportunity to show the good side of the game we all love will have been missed. Nobody wants someone coming on here bragging we did this and that and they did nothing, that's not the idea at all, just let people know that we are not the insular uncaring fraternity of people that some see us as.

TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Positivity will always come to the top...always, and the cynics are always there as well...always. Human nature. Nobody has come on here bragging, merely stating what they have done for their community...well done. Others choose not too, but the ones they have helped - and are still helping are appreciative of the help. Maybe they don't want people to know the assistance they are receiving.
