What is ridiculous is this from the bbc:I hope the reason or justification for only a 4 point is given in this case. And I certainly hope that it isn’t reduced on appeal as it will make it even more ridiculous.
The league's rules state any appeals process should "conclude no later than and if possible some time before 24 May" - five days after the season finishes.
Entering the business end of the season yet poor old Luton (and I don’t particularly like them anyway) could find that an appeal decides to reduce it by a further point and forest stay up on goal difference.
How on earth is that fair?
It’ll be interesting to see how that stacks up in a court of law if it came to it.
