Allegedly we may have broken league rules playing silly buggers with FGR match allocation, and not the first time this season we may have done this thing.
very unlikely to be a points deduction if found guilty? Though the league would not have to rush the investigation, they could retrospectively relegate us maybe promote highest placed non promoted team or the beaten playoff finalist instead, don’t know if there’s a precedent for it.

Ironic that at the start of the season FGR sold away allocations to City and Swindon then on the day refused to admit all away supporters in saying the ground was full!!

I told you I don’t like that FGR chairman, some of you called me out for saying it. Looking at this guzzler, people desperate for a ticket to (still historically rare) Rovers promotion party, in that recent willingness to get gasheads in the ground, it’s possible we could have breached some EFL rules on away ticketing? |

Fine at most I would think. Hardly falls into the same category as breaking FFP rules.
If it does, let's argue we are the feeder team for a Premier League side therefore FFP rules don't apply.

My own impression is that DV doesn't like us much. Shouldn't be a surprise it's them complaining. |

FGR could make the Championship, and they will always be a tinpot outfit funded by one man’s ego for me. When he’s gone they will do a Bury, guaranteed. |

I think that FGR muddied the waters by asking for their allocation in batches - should have had faith in their support, and taken up their full allocation to start with.

Most clubs have a rich benefactor who spends a lot on the club, we do so do FGR. Those that don’t, like Exeter, will find a glass ceiling in League 1.
But to the subject of the OP, Vince, who like epping, I think does a good job at FGR will have a moan perhaps but nothing major will happen, a warning or even more vigilance over how we distribute tickets in the future. In this week not worth worrying about.
UTG!
