Posting on facebook claims Godmanchester won their appeal and will stay in Eastern Counties League.

Less match day revenue then - a shame for that reason alone

Unless the UCL do decide to give Blackstones a stay of execution.

Obviously they must have good reasons for wanting to stay in the ECL, but it seems strange. There must be much more travelling in the Eastern, much less in the way of local derbies, and the 2 best supported clubs (Wisbech and Dereham) have left. I bet we alone would have taken more fans there than all their ECL opponents next season combined!

I think only the FA can make changes after the AGM, they won't do that as they turned down Blackstones appeal last week. I wouldn't think Blackstones are particularly popular at the UCL or FA as there seemed to be little basis for the appeal.

Tweet from Huntingdon Town manager.

@Ricky_mhtfc: Can't believe that Gomanchester Rovers have been allowed to stay in Thurlow Nunn. That's boxing day derby out the window #promoteEyensbury

I wonder what the UCL fixtures secretary makes of that! Poor guy has probably spent the past 6 weeks drawing up the fixtures. At least everybody can now have a game each week and all can have a Boxing Day/Easter Monday derby.

That's a game's revenue that we've budgeted for and will now have to find from somewhere. :evil:

Ah we'll, we'll just have to fight through to the 1st round proper of re FA cup to make up for it eh?

Hope JG hasn't seen this as he'll probably add the missing revenue to match day sponsorship.
Adult ground entry now £6.08p, running a tight ship you know. :lol:
I'm sure we will manage to survive. Though The Wobblers in 1st round of FA Cup would be nice, if not Coventry as also local and sure Starms would enjoy that.
