"If you want some accessible but informative insight into football then I suggest you couldn't do better than the Political Economy of Football website, which is not only intelligible but comes with the added bonus of being written by Addicks fan Wyn Grant."

Blue Square Bet South side Welling have been deducted five points after they provided incorrect financial information to the league about the extent of their debt to the taxman.   The club have paid off £45,000 of a £90,000 debt and have until December 1st to pay the rest.   If they fail to do so, they will become the latest non-league club to close.


Hoped-for investment in the club failed to materialise.   However, the Conference have released the £8,000 solidarity money they held back from the club.
