Gateshead Charged by the Football Conference

Last updated : 16 September 2009 By Heed Mad
The statement reads:

"The Football Conference have charged Gateshead FC with 'failure to fulfill a fixture' in relation to the abandoned match against Hayes & Yeading on 5th September.

Gateshead FC now have the right of appeal which will then be subject to further consideration by the Conference Board.

A final decision on the outcome of the fixture will then be made following the re-convening of the Football Conference board."

This could see the club fined, punished with a points deduction, or all three points from the match awarded to Hayes and Yeading with the game not replayed.
