The Football Association's Appeal Board has ruled on our case regarding next Tuesday's fixture against Stockton Town
This morning, the Club appeared in front of a Football Association Appeal Board, challenging the decision made by the Northern Premier League to move Tuesday’s fixture against Stockton Town to a neutral venue.
After hearing the case, the Appeal Board has ruled in favour of the Club, overturned the decision made by the Northern Premier League, and ordered that the Club’s submitted proposal for this fixture be implemented.
Accordingly, Tuesday’s fixture against Stockton Town will be scheduled to be held at Broadhurst Park.
With the weather forecast currently favourable, we are confident that the game will go ahead at Broadhurst Park.
However, a joint decision will be taken between the Club and the Northern Premier League on Monday 20th April as to whether the fixture will remain at Broadhurst Park, or whether it must be moved to Curzon Ashton. We request that supporters check our website and social media channels on Monday and Tuesday for final confirmation.
In either case, kick-off will be at 7.45pm, and all season tickets, TMTBs and pre-purchased tickets for the previous fixture will remain valid. Ticket are available via Fanbase: Fanbase | Select Tickets
We would like to thank the members of Appeal Board for the full and fair hearing that they gave our case.
We will release further detail regarding the decision to co-owners once we receive the full Written Reasons for the decision from the Football Association.
