 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.
