"The club can now confirm that following information received from the Conference this evening we will be taking our place in the end of season play off's starting this Tuesday"
from hampton forum
what a joke - ive lost what little faith i had left in football today and im wondering who has been paid off in order to let this happen
how can a team be given so much time after a deadline and break so many of the leagues cherished rules?
i hope a group of clubs(including us) who have ben relegated or not allowed into the playoffs before form a group to sue - what a joke and a total farce
The conference is now a total joke. Kings Lynn get relegated and hampton CHEAT and dont have planning in time or satiify the rules and get let in. Spending money on the team and not the ground.
I hope they get stuffed 12-0 and then next season we tonk them twice.
Can we now rename them
The Cheats from now on.
I am going to email Blue Square and let them know what a farce the league they are sponsoring is.

email the conference board here try not to swear just let them know that they now condone unsafe grounds and teams spend the money on the team not the ground.
I would love welling and bath to sue but only one club will be interested in moaning after tomorrow. Perhaps why they delayed the decision?

Please could you let me know why it has taken so long to announce whether Hampton and Richmond Borough FC are eligible for a play off place in the BSS. I am assuming that the decision was made sometime before 7 pm tonight and if so why couldn't an announcement be made? I appreciate that it only impacts on a small number of supporters and I guess you may not really care about us but it hardly portrays the Conference, or indeed non-league football as a whole, in a favourable light. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you this has been a PR disaster.If there was a reason for the delay, say so, silence has just made you look incompetent.
I gave them my number as well. I look forward to them phoning me back!
I have heard that the league have allowed Hampton + Richmond to play in the Blue Square South playoffs this year. I am interested to know how you can condone unsafe grounds that don't make gradings for promotions?
The deadline for the gradings was the 31st march but Hampton weren't comfirmed until today so I am interested to know why they were afforded so much extra time when other clubs have been shunned or relegated because of their grounds.
And you also condone the fact that Hampton spent all of their cash on their playing budget and not improving their ground. Surely in these economic times you should look for clubs to keep within their means and budget well?
But you have given a green light for this club to break the league rules over this
Can you please answer why Hampton were given so much extra time when they STILL aren't ready for a potential promotion due to ground safety issues?
I await your response"
i probably should have taken some deep breaths before i wrote and sent this but at least i didnt swear(thanks jgfc)
If you swear they just delete it. if they get scores of emails they know you arent happy and you have stored it upstairs. I am dumbfounded how they can just change the rules and allow Hoofit and Richclub cheats to play in the play offs.... and discriminate against Welling and Bath City.

If anyone gets a reply please post the e mail address on here.
Kings Lynn's ground is better than Hampton's.
If those nasty kicking diving hoofing cheats go up they will have to be relegated again next season because they will never get planning permission to get what they want.

I'm not so sure - persistence and patience are wonderful things.

Are we to assume from the statement recently posted on this website that Hampton & Richmond is the only club in Blue Square South to attain the required grading for promotion? If not, why is Hampton & Richmond the only club for which you felt it necessary to issue such a statement?
Why have we had to wait until the morning of the final day of the season, some 25 days after the deadline, for any statements on ground grading?
Maybe you could issue a list at the START of next season detailing which clubs will have the "rules are rules" approach applied to them and which clubs will be allowed to ignore the rules. That way we could all save ourselves a lot of hard-earned cash in the current financial climate.
