In another example of the high standards @NorthernPremLge board members hold, here’s Leek Town chairman Jon Eeles earlier this season serving a stadium ban for abusing the ref
This despite the NPL hosting a mid-season meeting with the FA's head of referees about respect!

Statement from the Northern Premier League:
“Following a reported communication between Chairman Mark Harris and a member of the public, the League can confirm it is actively investigating this serious matter, with an urgent meeting convened for tomorrow morning”.

This is bullshit. That rule applies when a ground is deemed unsuitable. But we played on there 2 days ago and we play Hyde on there on the 18th. If it is suitable for the 18th you cannot possibly claim it is not suitable for the 21st.
Shameful behaviour.

So the @NorthernPremLge make a statement and turn their comments off. They now control the weather? This is a governance issue. Unfair advantage given to the away side which is to the detriment of other teams chasing a play off place. Jokers.

Well after their muddled, shambolic reasoning re the @FCUnitedMcr game we already knew they were an unprofessional bunch, but for the @NorthernPremLge chairman to react to a fan in this manner is still pretty astounding. Get your coat Mark Harris

Seems very unusual that the league board would make the decision ‘in the interest of both clubs’ to make a club forfeit home advantage and match day revenue when the club has proposed that they would keep the pitch at Curzon Ashton on standby until the forecast is known.

The NPL is run by suits who don't care about the wellbeing of their member clubs. Case in point, FCUM being forced to play a vital fixture at a neutral venue (a lesser one than their own home ground) for no discernable reason. And this response from the NPL chairman? Pathetic...
I’m shocked by this response to my email from the Chair of The @NorthernPremLge and member of the @FA Council
Is this an acceptable way for those in power to speak to football supporters who express genuine concerns?

A decision made by a league committee that actually put rearranged games into the schedule in the wettest winter ever. Wouldn't mind if some common sense was applied here, why not allow the game to be played at Broadhurst park and should the weather look a bit risky let's say on the Friday before we switch the game to Curzon, nobody loses out and the integrity of the league is still in place.
Remember this is also the league who have never made a comment about how the Gainsborough game absolutely ruined the pitch and endangered players wellbeing.
By the way we fixed the pitch and got it back into unbelievable playing condition since that game.
Up the Reds

I’m afraid that Harris’ email raises a central question for a sports governing body as to whether can approach judgements affecting FC United with impartiality.
