All change as Chester records expunged

The Football Conference

 

The Football Conference have today expunged all playing records against Chester City which has seen some change in the Blue Square table though Luton Town remain in fifth place.
 
No appeal was lodged after the decision to expel the Seals from the league on February 26 leading to the reshuffle.

Town are now one point behind third placed Rushden & Diamonds with one game in hand on all of their play-off rivals except Oxford  United who have played one game less but regain top spot over Stevenage Borough.

The Hatters are now only nine points behind United while Kettering Town leapfrogging them by a point to replaceYork City in fourth who have plunged out of the play-off positions to sixth. 
 
An official statement by the league's governing body said: "The Football Conference announce Chester City (2004) FC having not lodged any appeal in respect of their removal from the competition, their playing record has been expunged with immediate effect. (Monday 8th Match 2010)

"A new calculated table is being circulated via the Press Association this afternoon as the official record to be used by all the media and member clubs from this date.

"Due to the fact that ALL goals involved in those matches played to date are also expunged, it means that those players having scored goals in matches against Chester City in the Blue Square Premier also see them expunged from the record books.

"This is to maintain fairness and consistency in relation to the player winning the "Golden Boot" award at the end of the season in the Blue Square Premier.

"Goals scored in FA Cup or FA Trophy ties are not so affected and will remain in those competitions."

The revised Blue Square Premier table is as follows:
