Suspension

[Mick]

Am I correct in thinking Cody Johnson will be suspended for the Hereford game and not the Curzon Ashton? Isn't it 7 days after the red card

[Nemesis]

Yes, suspension kicks in seven days after the event so I assume he'll miss the Cheshunt game, or have the rules changed?

[Pink]

I believe that as the Cup is a different competition to the league it will mean that Cody can play against Cheshunt but is then suspended for Hereford.

Going off thread … Does anyone know why in NLN AND NLS you can name 5 subs and use 5 subs.  Yet in the NL you can name 7 subs and use any 5 of them.

Just asking as it looks like in our opening 5 games we went with a 2nd keeper on the bench but in the last two games he’s been omitted.  Not sure why

Would suggest he is suspended for the FA Cup game

Thanks for providing that Nemesis-what a complex set of rules -different for National League to NLN it appears ...but yes after reading that I agree with your conclusion....I think ha ha

Vanarama Rules state that National League can have 7 on Bench and use 5 but NLN and NLS can only have 5 on Bench and use 5.

Thanks WLM but seems strange that Clubs under the same umbrella are playing to different rules.  Maybe some Clubs don’t have big enough dugouts to hold 7 subs plus all the backroom staff they seem to have these day

Also differences re suspensions as mentioned above. Who would want to be a football club secretary these days !!!

It appears only competition where suspensions remain within the competition, as it were is the EFL Cup.

[Mallard]

Who is the Secretary these days, still the lady based in the North ?  I have little idea on who fills what Roles these days.    Do we have a new H&S officer yet ?  And did the overseas Commercial Director role ever get filled ?

AL mentioned the lady Sec in reference to the rapid processing of paperwork to get Fin Barnes signed. I think her name is Julie Briggs.

Norman is still the matchday Sec.

is it the match day secretary that has to go to every game home or away?If so I don't think thats norman these days.I don't think we've got a health and safety man in position yet since the last one left.I'm not sure on that one as we don't hear a lot from the club unless its to do with the games which is better than it used to be

[Jono]

Norm still does all home and away games

Norm still does all home and away games

ok I suppose you know that for a fact and not just something you have been told as someone said to me that he doesn't do away games now

[Mallard]

Maybe Julie ( being North based) does the away games ?  I’m sure they must have an official there to deal with  Match Day  stuff
