Fined by the Football League

in General Charlton
Not for being incompetent at running a football club, or for being barefaced wooden-nosed liars, but because we didn't field a full strength team in one of our Checkatrade round one games apparently.

    A) I thought we complied every time.

    B) of you're gonna break the rules and take the fine you might as well do it properly ala Exeter and play your manager and a bunch of kids..

    Isn't not actually having a full strength team a defence then?

    Oh dear.
    That's £3k's worth of complimentary gin and vaul-au-vents not available over the festive period.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this was actually a factor.

    I thought we had a tight budget and couldn't even afford poppies on our shirts.

    Which game have we been fined for we were definitely ok for the first 2?

    If it's the Colchester game, then surely we had 3 players missing for international call ups, and 1 injured, it's scandalous to penalise us in such circumstances...and ignore all the more important issues in football and our club specifically

    Yeh I mean, I wouldn't accept freebies to watch my beloved club play if it had fallen on hard times, I'd gladly buy a match ticket if I thought everything in the garden was rosey. :open_mouth:

    Great statement from Luton. Premier league clubs are allowed in the competition in a bid to supposedly promote youth players yet Luton have done this to great effect and are being fined. Pathetic.

    oh for a CEO who makes statements like that rather than just appearing at conferences at the drop of a hat.

    Or, at the drop of a Hatter, perhaps.

    Great statement. The competition is a complete and utter farce.

    Just goes to show how far we have fallen under this lot.
    Luton town are now better represented than we are.
    Thanks Roland

    Not sure if we got any prize money so we will have to take the money from gate receipts

    That's a very likely reason for the knee jerk reaction when it's obvious that once again we don't have a replacement lined up.

    I have a bunch of friends from Luton, and a friend of a friend used to be on the board there. Gonna write them and recommend they pay the fine in pennies.

    What a mess of a competition this is. With so many clubs choosing fines rather than playing first team players I wonder if the clubs should join together and refuse to even stage the games next season.
