This is an extract from the BBC website -
"Mansfield are being investigated by the Football Association and the Football Conference over player registrations.
The FA are looking into whether striker Aaron O'Connor is still registered with his former club Grays Athletic.
And the Football Conference say they are trying to establish whether 'more than one player' was ineligible for the first two games of the season".
It seems abit harsh to say it but it could be very good for us if Mansfield get deducted afew points for this. If found guilty then that would be the likely punishment. I dont like to wish point deductions on other clubs but, given that they are doing pretty well, it has to be said that it would work in our favour if they lose some points.
At the moment, along with Cambridge, they are the only club considered a real promotion contender at the start of the season that have had a really decent start. Therefore, if they lose afew points then we will actually be in a pretty decent position in relation to some of the divisions other "bigger clubs".
Obviously, we still need to continue to improve but, after a bad start, things are looking not quite as catastrophic as they might have done. Having said that, we have a tough run of games coming up now.
