All Activity

On what grounds are we planning to appeal? The precedent for action in these cases is clear. Reminds me of when we embrassed ourselves appealing the O'Brien and McGuire transfers. It sounds like they'll change the rules now at least, which is long overdue because they're garbage. But that's too late for us.

With those 3 points turning out to be significant.

Pompous prick is wrong!

So, a full replay, as we knew it would be. And Rovers will lose it, as we all know they will.

I’d be interested in how the L1 and L2 representatives voted.

We will beat them in the replay. Worst case scenario turn the sprinklers on mid game / turn off the lights and get it abandoned again for a replay.

The EFL board decided: https://www.efl.com/about-the-efl/efl-board/

Ah right, I'm with you now, it was put to a panel rather than all members of the division, that makes sense. Also makes sense that they would all agree to abstain I suppose.

Nope, the three Championship club representatives are from PNE, Norwich, and Middlesbrough.

I'm guessing that the absentions were Rovers, Ipswich and then possibly Norwich?

There is, or certainly shouldn’t be, a default decision. The regulation isn’t x happens unless y it’s any of xyz are possible. As I said earlier, why have flexibility in the rules if you’re always going to make the same choice.

The decision may have done many things but it certainly hasn’t upheld the integrity of the competition. By agreeing to develop new guidance they’ve as good as a admitted the current position is unacceptable.

It was always the default decision and anything else was a very unlikely outcome

Majority not unanimous decision.

Sky are reporting that the three Championship club representatives on the EFL board abstained from voting which was absolutely the right thing do. Parry and Birch will more than likely led on this one.

The mention of an appeal from Rovers tells me this isn't over yet.

If we're losing with ten mins left, get the sprinklers on and waterlog the pitch.

Pasha will now be checking whether an appeal involves an admin fee.

No where yet, Nixon has said so, so it must be true 😉

Confirmed where?

Obviously. If the rules were there there'd have been no need for nearly a weeks pontificating for nothing.

The club needs to make admission free for home fans and fill the ground giving Ipswich the upper tier of the Darwen End

Well it is what it is, the good news is it’s a level playing field and we can just go and beat them as we were on track to do.
