Given the news that National North League Chorley are under an embargo, below an explination of what is involved
Current and recently lifted embargoes
The National League may place a Club under embargo if it meets one of the following criteria:
(a) where a Club has undergone an Insolvency Event;
(b) where a Club has been served with a winding-up petition which has not been satisfied in full or to the satisfaction of the petitioning creditors as evidenced by written agreement; or
(c) where a Club has either defaulted on such an agreement or has omitted or incorrectly reported its failure to adhere to the terms of any agreement.
An embargo prevents the Club from signing a new player or changing the terms of an existing loan, except where the terms of the Embargo allow.
An embargo is separate and without prejudice to any other penalties that the League may impose against the Club, including for financial breaches.
Below are embargoes that have been active within the past 30 days:
Club | Rule breached | Start date | End date |
|---|---|---|---|
Chorley | Non-compliance with League Financial Regulations | 9 February 2026 | |
