League Statement - Ramsbottom United

Ramsbottom United Football Club had been found guilty by the Football Association of playing Danny Warrender in the game against Clitheroe on 26th November whilst the player was suspended and had been fined £200 by the FA.

The League therefore charged Ramsbottom United with playing an ineligible player in the game which they had won. The club had pleaded guilty to the charge and after taking fully in to account the written observations submitted by the club the Board’s decision was that the three points Ramsbottom United won in the fixture be deducted from its playing record.

Ramsbottom United have since advised the League that they will not be appealing against their decision and therefore league tables will reflect the points deduction.
