As others have said Diamond has acquitted himself brilliantly but that tweet does seem rather final.
With them having won yesterday will be interesting to see what happens to their results. Surely they only declare the previous games null and void

Had a look at Diamond's twitter - yep that seems to be 'over and out'.

A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

He has just confirmed on BT that they are expecting a week or 2 off.
Not sure how it all works for the games they don’t play, points allocated etc.
Are they automatically relegated

Well based on last season vs Glaws for conceded games then oppositions will get 5 points for the games missed.

Relegation comes from administration, which this is not. This is just a suspension from the league till they get their house in order (which administration may well help)
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Wasn’t the game last season in the PRC though. Surely in a full league season clubs just can’t be handed 5 points. What happens if at the end of the season that is the difference between play off or European qualification or not.

Clarification please.
I see reference to expulsion to the league one minute and suspension, which suggests a return later the next. Which is it?

Suspension at the moment but what happens after that who knows.

No the game they conceded was a league game... the controversy was they had a PRC game 3 days later that they played. That game they played saw them into the knockouts of the PRC so with no relegation they prioritised the cup over the league.

Oh ok my memory. Still don’t think it would be right in this scenario.

So past 4:30pm and the gates locked and the timeliness nearly reached. Word is that a 48 hour time extension being sought.

Apparently their insurance is set to expire tonight at midnight as well, without it no players can train. So unless this is paid for then an extension is not much help. Also if this gets pushed back even further into the week then it will only cause more problems for potential fixtures next weekend if it ends up not coming to a happy ending.

As sad as it is to say it, it is probably best if the axe were to be swung tonight.

Gutted for the players, staff and supporters. Someone has to answer for this. There are staff who are now out of work and unable to support themselves, because they placed their trust in the owners.
