Salisbury City Expelled from CONFERANCE South- Where will they play next season??

Will this mean further re-organisation of the SL at this late stage if the SL accepts them!! (they have set the precedent with Hereford) so it would appear they would have no alternative if Salisbury applied & if so would it be in our Division???

It's difficult to know what will happen with Salisbury, and Hereford too, as I think it's by no means certain the latter won't go out of business before the start of the season.

Another thing is that I believe all the various league AGMs have now taken place when the composition of the leagues should have been finalised.

I see that on the Saisbury City FC website, they have released a statement saying that they have taken succesful legal action against "Outail Touzar" the former Morrocan owner of the club, (who obtained the club for just £1) for fraudulant misrepresentation, and a new board have taken control of the club; they intend to pay off outstanding debts, and to apply for reinstatement to the Conference South.

It will be interesting to see what happens with their request for reinstatement, I would think that it will now be to late for them avoid the drop into the Southern League? Also what will happen to Hereford United, they have been included in the Southern Legue Premier fixture list, but apparently there is still some controversy over payment of their debts and control of the club, a winding up order has been adjurned, a CVA has been applied for, and an IP is to be appointed to administer it; rumor has it that all the finacial information on the clubs computers has been deleted? On Saturday they played a friendly behind closed doors at a secret location against Eagley FC; the club said that they were not allowed to play at Edgar St, apparently because it does not have a safety certificate?

Salisbury have had their appeal to remain in the Conference( all divisions) turned down by the FA today, does this mean the Non-league Pyramid encompassing all sides in the Premier divisions of the SL, NPL or the IL could be changed to accommodate Salisbury at this late stage?

Anyone any idea of what could happen next and if they are allowed in the SLP could this impact upon any clubs in our league, even at this late stage?

It's difficult to see what they can do at this late stage - even if whoever is running the club can be decided upon - as all the various league's fixtures have been arranged

There's speculation on a non-league forum that it might be possible for Salisbury to take the place of Ilfracombe who just days ago withdrew from the Western League Premier Division, or that a place could be found in the Wessex League Division 1 as it only includes 15 teams.

All speculation, though - they seem to be in a worse state than Hereford.
