Access denied! The FA have recommended the rules are reconsidered for future seasons.

Disappointing news, but not unexpected I'm afraid.

It's good that the rules are recommended to be changed in the future, but it does make it a bit harder to take that we've been denied a rule even the FA think is stupid

"Yes, you're right, it is a stupid rule. We'll change it. Later."

"Yes, it's daft, but what can you expect *us* to do about it? We're just 12 poor chaps with absolute power over this whole situation trying our best to make a difference in this crazy world. Plus, you know, heavy lunch. Glenn here had lamb, it always makes him a bit drowsy. Please don't wake him on your way out, there's a good volunteer-run football club"

Not a huge surprise - ultimately we could've challenged the rule a year ago if we thought it was unfair and going to cause us problems.

Good to see it has now been brought to light and will be reconsidered. This may end up taking some of the strain off fundraising for ground developments if we ultimately don't need the extra covered seats in place by next March. Not that this should stop us trying to develop the ground.

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

All appeals denied, for me the sooner we have money in place we need to crack on and get seats in and pitch upgraded, only way forward for us,
Darlington f.c going forward is a must,
With investors or not.

Cheesed off. Stupid rule. The Vanarama needs to give it's head a shake, listen to it's clubs and sort it out. Typical FA, fan owned club trying to make it's way up the divisions, just moved to a newly developed ground, met the FAs exacting standards but let's kick them in the teeth.

The problem is we didn't meet the FA's exacting standards, hence why we aren't allowed in the play-offs.

No we wouldn't. 500 seats needed to be there by the end of this March to be eligible for promotion, whether by winning the league or the playoffs.

But it's a national league rule not an FA one isn't it?

Right that's the end of it.

Mistakes were made that need to be learned from and when that final whistle blows at Salford on Saturday (and no it's not their fault what happened to us so don't even bother banging on about them) the time for feeling sorry for ourselves is over.

I honestly don't care what the score is on Saturday either, I'm more interested in how things progress with this so far unnamed "potential investor" should be an interesting summer ahead.

Also good luck to Poole, Hungerford and Wealdstone for the future.

Very true to be fair if we are going all out for promotion next season you want the likes of salford out of the league

"Interesting summer " .... we only need a new board , new volunteers, 250 K, possibly a new investor or/and a new management team and any where from a couple of players to near enough a full squad . I'd say a tad more than an average closed season .

As long as it's one of the clubs that are there on merit and not the one that gets in through the back door because of our absence.
But we all know how fate usually works :(
That said,we're not guaranteed to finish top five but pleeeezzzeee let's beat Salford on Saturday.

Not surprised, but to say they'll consider changing them in future... come on. It's a stupid rule, if you're going to do it, bin it now.

It doesn't say a lot for the integrity of the competition when you have a situation where of 8 playoff teams across the north and south, probably 3 of them are not going to be allowed to compete because of a trivial, at best, rule.
