Stockport

[Pat from Poole]

OK. I apologise in advance for going back 2 months in time. I'm thick, but it somehow seems more relevant tonight.

 

Why are Stockport not starting on minus 10 next season?

i think they lost their points last season, but survived relegation

[Pat from Poole]

So why didn't the deduction take effect next season?

Because they stayed up without them. We managed to get relegated even without the 10 points so we get them next season. Please don't ask me why.

I dont know. I may be wrong in what I said. But they were safe from relegation with ten points deducted whereas we were not and therefore could if we had survived stayed in the Championship. Dont you remember they said if we stayed up then it would have taken effect last season? Double jeapordy really but can see there point.

My view is we should take our penalty and get on with it.

So they're ultimately allowed to welch on their debts without suffering any penalty of significance whatsoever.

 

I can kind of see where Pinnacle are coming from now; more so on the Stockport case than the parent company argument, to be honest.

Those were the rules to which all clubs agreed. Stockport's 'penalty' is non-existent which is presumably why they took the decision at that time. Our appeal is that those same rules specifically exclude the administration of a parent company from affecting a subsidiary club.
