The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune…again

The scars of last season's debacle have been forgotten by most at the club, although the initials FA certainly don't mean the Football Association in these parts. It's fair to say that our governing body didn't come out of the whole affair very well, and even at a meeting before Christmas with the chairman of the Ryman League, looked to deflect blame from their failings. Fortunately, plans are afoot at our league level to change rule 6.9 which would now mean the Ryman League could handle the situation very differently if it occured in the future. How difficult was that? Well as simple as changing the word "shall" to "may" in terms of how the league penalise clubs. It took 30 seconds for the votes to be counted back in December's League Meeting for that to progress.
