They resigned on a Monday. Judging by Twitter they cancelled the game with Horden on 2nd of September with no repercussions. That was well before they resigned from the league. They were unable to fulfil a fixture and the league done nothing.

What is the punishment for failing to fulfill a fixture Neil is it points deducted and a fine or just a fine.

What is the punishment for failing to fulfill a fixture Neil is it points deducted and a fine or just a fine. Fine of up to £1000. The rules say you can also be deducted up to three points or expelled from the league also.

Maybe brandon avoided a fine as the league thought they were in enough as crap already and could not afford to pay it. Cant think of any other reason why they would avoid it

Cant think of any other reason why they would avoid it I get what your saying there si but normally at Northern league level if you can't field a team it tells me your upto your neck in it so if you were to say let's not apply this rule as there already in enough dung then basically that punishment doesn't go hand in hand with that rule.

Up to £1000 includes £0.
It actually surprises me so many want clubs to be hammered for apparent breach of rules. What happened to a bit of community and looking after each other? Or was there never a northern league family in the first place? Surely the league should err on the side of leniency to avoid sending clubs to the wall.
On the other hand, a £30 fine for not putting DNP against unused subs is fcuking ridiculous. For many clubs, that could be the entire profit from a home game gone in one small irrelevant error.

Totally agree handi.teams are struggling to begin with. And fines big or small doesn't help matters . But at the end of season bash they need the wonderful food and drink .plus a slice of battenburg.

There is a reason for the DNP fine . Now you can use all 5 subs it’s different to when you could only use 3.. in the past it was a bit harsh when it was clear 3 had been used then its obvious the other 2 hadn’t. I can’t remember ever being fined if I named 3 . Sure I didn’t use the DNP boxes if 3 had played

The rules say you can also be deducted up to three points or expelled from the league also. Is that per Game? If yes North Shields in theory could have been docked 12 points I’d only fine them a minimal amount as they were claiming that they were skint But if league fine clubs for admin errors on team sheets , league rules should apply to North Shields- otherwise it makes a mockery of the rules and sets a dangerous precedent

Its a no win situation, you give a club struggling financially a huge fine, they fold. I think if there is a genuine, amicable reason and not a club struggling through miss management ie. throwing silly money at underachieving players, then a big fine isnt plausible. Dock points, relegate them, but dont fold them.
I would much rather see a club be given a chance to pull themselves around, look at Hebburn, South Shields..
