Quoted from GrimRob
It's a suspended fine though, just to June, so as long as we're good boys we won't have to pay it? Isn't that what suspended means?

It's a slap on the wrists really, more embarrassing than anything.

The inital fine is suspended, but the £13,000 bill incurred for EFL costs is still payable, at least as I understand it.

The statement by the board seems to be, yet again, confusing and incomplete.

1 they accept the ruling. Good if we were wrong
2 they accept the need for compensation to three clubs, but claim there was none?
3. They don’t mention the costs we are due to pay. Is it £13k or isn’t it.

Rule 1 if you are caught with your pants down. Confess, apologise and pay up.

I suspect we have half truths yet again, and am happy to be proved wrong.

from the GET article PD says this

Day also said the playing of darts was "unknown to the board and senior management" and was "really beyond the protocols".

but then if it was unknown to them how did he know why he played darts?

"Olly [Holloway] used the playing of darts to build up team ethos and sadly he shouldn't have done it," he added.

I would like to know how the league have worked out the costs to be thirteen grand. How an earth does it cost that amount is beyond me, that's an awful lot of tea and biscuits while they sit at their desks pontificating.  Town should ask for a detailed bill of how they get that figure before they pay it.

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Nah, pay it and move along the longer this stays in the public eye the longer a shambles of a club we become and you just dont know if it has an impact to new signings etc.  We dont need anymore garbage media about our club unless its good news.

It’s the role of any employer to put a risk assessment together and ensure it is being correctly adhered to. Once again amateurish from the current board and the inability to accept any responsibility just makes them look even weaker.

I also dont think Town are the only club that will get fined, Stevenage, Bradford, Exeter have all had games postponed whether they followed guidelines will be down to an investigation.

Also when the EFL investigators found out about the darts did they ask Holloway directly when he was at the club or when he left do think?
