Hes managed to get Ilkeston gone with the aid of an embargo. Hinckley and Us are under Embargo and some obscure secret rule prevents it being lifted.
What is the "spread" On Strudwicks successes in closing clubs down and restricting them from trading?.
In the Derby Telegraph he said we aim to help all of our clubs.
PRAY TELL ME how telling clubs that have contracted players they must continue to pay that they cannot play is helping YOUR clubs??
PRAY TELL ME how doing nothing, and keeping clubs waiting weeks is Helping?
How do we get Strudwick kicked out? He was a secretary in the Southern League known for being crap. How the hell can we let this man be Conference Chief Exec?
He needs stopping before its too late with his made up and stupid rules that are killing clubs.
One of the Conference Board ripped into us in the press when we called them minutes after a replay to say the next round is on sunday. He was scathing in the press.
Could the club please publish the relevant rule on the official website or in the programme that pertains to the embargo. We havent got a clue if there is a rule, if there isnt one etc etc and Strudwick is talking like stanley unwin to try and bowl us googlies.

Tom, your last two posts are superbly scathing and points well made. couldn't you relay these thoughts to the Club for presentation to their "solicitors" who should be able to rephrase them in "legal-speak" and present them to the Conference. That is the only way we might get some possible action from the Conference, since they will not deal with third parties and no-one on this forum can make these points to them. Perhaps your feelings might encourage the "solicitor(s)" to grow some teeth ...
Bill i know i am a genius and brainbox who can think outside the box. But the clubs solicitors should have gone for the jugular immediately.
I am not aware of how the club works or what red tape it has to negotiate. Im just putting points up that i feel are pertinent.
It would make sense for Strudrick (not a typo) to post the rules that have been transgressed and when those rules were put there.
I have also read him quoted as saying in other cases, when the club has shown us a written payment agreement with HMRC the embargo will be lifted. I would put forward that by having a date to pay them, we have this already.
Also this is the first time we have been in court and its a petition not an order. Other clubs tend to be in court every 5 mins and have the embargo lifted and put back in place.
Now i would like to know if the club have done this (Written Agreement) and if not why not?
I say being unable to play those contracted is restraint of trade and costing us money and adding to our problems and the Conference are DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for making things worse for the club.
I say its negligent to players registered to the Conference and our Club, who have to keep playing so we can field a side given the 16 player rule that has been slapped on us via some other secret rule (NOTE there are two things here, yes the 16 players is in the rules. But WHERE in there rules does it say a club with an agreement with HMRC goes into embargo when hes said that if you have an agreement embargo si lifted). The man is clueless.
I say the conference do not have this rule in place or have in the past ignored it re Lewes. (victimisation)
I say there is clear victimisation and discrimination against Welling United FC by at least 2 members of the Conference and one has been scathing in the press about our club in the past. This would not make him a fit and proper person to regulate a league containing that club as one of its member clubs IMHO.
Perhaps Matthew or Paul can get onto this and ask the questions that need asking. We need Achampong, Clarkey and Pires playing YESTERDAY.
Lets see lots of the players receiving treatment, whincing and wearing strapping... will look good on video when the conference get sued for neglicence by a player for worsening an injury when they refuse to let CONTRACTED PLAYERS that are being paid play for the club.

surley if the league are wrong why dont welling do something about it, to me there seems to be something the club are not telling us, otherwise they have no rights to leave the embargo in place

The criteria for an embargo being lifted is believed to be either confirmation of full payment or a written agreement with the taxman for a schedule of payments for all of the outstanding amount. Clearing some of the owed amount and paying ongoing taxes whilst commendable still leaves the balance of the owed amount which needs to have a written repayment schedule agreed with the taxman. The adjurnment of the wind up petition allows time for an agreement to be made. It is not itself a precise agreement of how the debt will be repaid.
How about this then, we reach agreement with HMRC on a payment plan, which is nothing paid at all per week and then 63k at week 14. That in essence sums it up. As long as 63k is paid by week 14 we're clear, lets get that in writing from HMRC and present to the Conference and they will have to lift the embargo.
I would be fairly confident that 8k held back will go to HMRC direct from the Conference. Or go there via our solicitor. How can the Conference prevent our income streams and expect us to realistically clear debts ?? Counter-productive.
