In respect of the abandonment of Scunthorpe United v Wealdstone on Saturday 6 September, it has been decided that the game is not to be replayed, and the match has been awarded to Scunthorpe United pursuant to League Rule 8.38.
Tables will be updated accordingly. Regulations state that while the home club are awarded three points, goals for and against are not to be added.
Seems a bit of a ridiculous decision from the National League
The decision for the Wealdstone match was the correct one, as their players basically refused to go back out on to the field, when the referee asked them to... and it wasn't for that terrible an injury, if you compare it to the Erikson one for example.
The Eastleigh game though... that got abandoned in the 97th minute!!
Wealdstone have had their Goal Difference improved by refusing to play as well, because the game won't be restarted it'll go down as a 0-0 match (Scunthorpe were 2-1 up), but Scunthorpe get the 3-pts.
Sneaky way to avoid having your Goal Difference damaged in the future if you're losing 7-0
