Member clubs from the Blue Square Premier, North and South Leagues met on Friday at Rushden & Diamonds in Northamptonshire to decide on the troubled club s fate after Chester admitted breaching five Conference rules. More than 75 per cent voted in favour of the league s recommen- dation to kick Chester out. The Cheshire-based side has a A sad day for soccer FOOTBALL BY Ric Sumner newsyouroxfordshire.co history of financial problems and was placed into administration last summer. The side was sus- pended from the league after it failed to fulfill a fixture at Forest Green Rovers on February 9 and face a winding-up order on March 10. Oxford United chairman Kelvin Thomas said: "It s obviously a sad day for football, especially with the news from Portsmouth as well. With regards to Chester, the club felt we had to support the board s recommendation. We hope that the fans of Chester City will be able to come back stronger after this decision." The decision means United have been deducted three points from when they thrashed Chester 4-0 in August, thanks to a hat-trick from top scorer James Constable Blue Square Premier 1 2 3 4 5 Oxford United Stevenage York City Rushden & D Luton Town Pld 31 32 32 32 32 Pts 69 66 60 56 56 James Constable scores against Chester in August and a goal from fellow striker Matt Green. But United s position at the top of the table was actually extended back to six points, as second- placed Stevenage have beaten Chester twice this season already. With Oxford and Stevenage without a game, third-placed York City had a chance to narrow the gap to the top two but the Minstermen surprisingly lost their 10-month unbeaten home record on Saturday in a 1-0 defeat to lowly Eastbourne Borough, courtesy of a Liam Enver- Marum strike. Oxford United boss Chris Wilder commiserated with Chester fans before the league announcement on Friday, saying: "They ve got 125 years of history, so it must be pretty heartbreak- ing for the fans. I think that we ve always done the right things here and that we ll continue to do the right things as a football club."
