Guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Official Statement Issued by the Carlsberg South West Peninsula Football League Ltd Thursday 6th November 2008 Newton Abbot AFC At the board meeting on 6th November, it was proposed and agreed that Newton Abbot AFC be excluded from the league for repeated offences of failing to fulfil fixtures (league rule 8.6 refers). Therefore all results, points, goals etc relating to Newton Abbot and the fixtures they have played this season are expunged. Some fixture changes have been made but this has not always been possible as we now have an odd number of teams in that division. Players aged 16 & 17 have been de-registered. Players aged 18 & over may de-register by sending the league 25pounds to cover their share of fines & charges outstanding. They can then register on a normal yellow form for any club. Players who have not paid by the 24th November will be reported to Devon FA who will add a fee of their own to the fine and suspend the player sine die from playing in any competition.

Guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think Newton Abbot didn't read the small print when they sold the gound to Devon FA. From what I was told they assumed they were able to play rent free until the county advised them otherwise. So the debt rose. I assume Devon FA have got the ground virtually free of charge. Anyone know anything different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Odgers Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Newton Abbot Reserves are currently suspended from the WBB South Devon League for not fufilling fixtures and are expected to face the same punishment when the executive of the league meet on November 24th. There is concern over the Coach Road ground up keep which the Freehold is owned by the Teignbridge District Council. The lease is held by the Devon CFA to rent out and a number of South Devon clubs have shown interest in playing at Coach road. I appreciate this is not Cornish football news but is associated with an expelled SWPL club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Surly the Devon F.A arnt looking to good in all this either!! Surly they didnt want to see a devon club fall out a league like the SWPL. It makes the league a complete farce!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 But "good" to see the FA still manage to swell their coffers even further by fining the players individually. They'll do anything to get their pound of flesh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Odgers Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 According to the press -eight Newton Abbot player have paid up the £25 and are free to sign up anew. It must be remembered that the first team players went on strike because of non payment and refused to play at Wadebridge which was the beginning of the end. It appears the Newton Abbot administration have all resigned and there is no one the SWPL or Devon County can contact so the players are the remains of the club. Paul, the SWPL(P) attedances are UP 2% on last season and this includes the two biggest dippers -Falmouth Town down 33% and St. Blazey down 31% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairman Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Paul, the SWPL(P) attedances are UP 2% on last season and this includes the two biggest dippers -Falmouth Town down 33% and St. Blazey down 31% -per Tony Kempster's site. Time to judge will be at the end of season.At moment several big Devon derby games influence the figures. At a quick glance it appears that the new league finds less favour amongst Cornish supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
