Reading the Non-league paper today, saw a very interesting article regarding Solihull.
The Chief Executive is being investigated by the FA for acting as an officer of the club, while being banned from involvement in another sport - in his case horseracing.
Seems there may be trouble on two fronts for them....

Could be starting their season on minus points at this rate. Gives an indication of what lives behind the scenes at that club.

I also read the NLP today, and Alex Narey wrote an excellent article/opinion about it on the fans' front.

they could be in breach of the rule 8.37
The rulebook reads: “Where a match has been postponed for any reason, the two clubs must agree within seven days of the postponement a new date (which shall, save in exceptional circumstances, be within 42 days of the original date) and in default the Board is empowered to order Clubs to play on a date it considers suitable. The Competition Secretary shall determine a new date.
“Any Club without just cause to fulfil an engagement to play a Competition match on the appointed date shall for each offence be liable to expulsion from the Competition and/or such other disciplinary action the Board may determine, including the deduction of up to a maximum of three points from the offending Club’s record, any expenses incurred by their opponents, and a fine.
“In the event of a Club being in breach of the previous paragraph of this Rule then the Board may award points to the Club not at fault as if the match had been played and the League table shall reflect the position as if the match had been played with the result awarded by the Board.”

From club website
The following is a message from Chester FC CEO, Mark Maguire:
Discussions are still ongoing between ourselves and the National League regarding Saturday’s postponement at Solihull Moors.
Whilst we can not make any promises – we would like to invite Chester fans who have been left out of pocket in booking travel to Solihull to send their proof of purchases to fans@chesterfc.com.
Please note that we will do our utmost to represent fans interests but only genuine evidence of loss will be able to be considered.
