Hinckley United Football Club has been deducted three points from its league table score for failing to pay football creditors.

The Football Conference received claims relating to outstanding wages from five players. After much correspondence from the competition to the club the claims have neither been refuted nor settled.

On 27th November the Competition instructed the club to settle the outstanding sums within seven days, or be subject to the above sanction. None of the balances have been settled, and now the Appeal procedure has been exhausted, the penalty of the deduction of three points is effective forthwith.
