CVA Penalty down to ten points

Any club going into a CVA in the Conference will be deducted ten points instead of twelve as originally agreed by the Conference bosses. It is said that the change is to fall into line with other leagues.

A Conference spokesperson told confguide.com: "We said at the outset that we would fall in line with the other competitions and to be fair to all parties we've made it retrospective. We wanted to see what the Premier League decided before we acted and now feel that we have a fair system throughout football."

This means that if Exeter lose their appeal they will have ten points deducted from their total.

Confguide are also reporting that Exeter have been charged with a breach of player registraton rules, regarding Dwane Lee, who the Conference say wasn't correctly registered before an embargo was placed on the club.
