Arbitration Ruling Favors Southampton Rangers
“Last night’s arbitration ruling is vindicating because we feel that we were being unjustly sanctioned by the BFA,” the Southampton Rangers Sports Club said, with the club adding that they feel the FA Cup draw should “be held again as we were unjustly kept out of the original draw.”
A spokesperson said, “Southampton Rangers Sports Club would like to thank the Department of Youth and Sport, specifically Director of Youth and Sports, Norbert Simons, Maceo Dill and Jekon Edness, for expeditiously facilitating our arbitration hearing last evening, January 16th, 2020.
“During this entire ordeal with the BFA, Southampton Rangers has maintained that it acted in good faith and within the BFA constitution throughout this entire process. Last night’s arbitration ruling is vindicating because we feel that we were being unjustly sanctioned by the BFA.
“Now that these sanctions have been lifted, and the arbitration panel ruling in our favor, we are pleased to now be participating in the prestigious FA Cup Competition.
“As the BFA decided to hold the draw on Tuesday, January 14th, knowing this matter was going to arbitration, we feel it is only fair that the draw be held again as we were unjustly kept out of the original draw.
“Southampton Rangers Sports Club would like to thank the arbitration panel for their fair and unbiased ruling along with all of our members and supporters for their words of encouragement during this entire ordeal.
“Moving forward, we hope all clubs will be treated equally and fairly under the BFA Constitution by the BFA Executive.”
Let’s go RANGERS!!!!!!
