“Arrangements for a Hearing will be made shortly.”
Redditch United met a Panel of independent members of the Football Conference, commissioned by the Board, on 27th January 2011 to consider a Misconduct charge under Rule 18.
The charge concerned an allegation of submitting misleading information in respect of financial reporting regulations.
As part of the findings of the commission the club was ordered to comply with certain conditions appertaining to information gleaned during the Hearing.
The club was advised failure to adhere to these conditions would result in the suspended sentence of a five-point deduction from its league table score, would be imposed.
On its own admission, Redditch United has failed to adhere to the instructions of the commission and the full sanction is now imposed with immediate effect.”
