‘Fixture-list manipulation’ allegation to cost Havant dear

‘Fixture-list manipulation’ allegation to cost Havant dear thumbnail

Justin Gregory, Havant & Waterlooville’s defensive king-pin, is set to miss the Anfield clash after the Football Association ruled he should serve his ban due to H&W manipulating the fixture list in an attempt to make him available by re-arranging the Thurrock match for tonight (which was abondoned after two power failures).

“It’s a nightmare, but there’s not much I can do about it. The FA are pretty archaic if you ask me. ” said Gregory.

“I’ve written a few emails to officials to explain the situation, but I don’t remember them going back on a decision too many times, so I guess I just have to live with it.”

“I did an interview saying I was happy there was a league game taking place so my suspension would be cleared, but that was taken out of context.”

“The FA officials obviously saw that and think the game has been specifically arranged.” he added.

“I’m absolutely gutted, but you also have to keep things in perspective.”

“Nobody died and it gives someone else the chance to play at Anfield.”
