Also according to the NL Paper, "Under Appendix E of the conference Rulebook, the Shaymen must agree a deal to repay their creditors AND come out of administration before Saturday, May 10 or face being kicked out of the Conference set-up [into the UniBond]... However, creditors will not vote on the matter until May 7 and any deal must then be approved by the football authorities. To make matters even worse, the consortium bidding to take control at The Shay... will complete its takeover only once a CVA agreement has been reached. That will give the club just three days to reach an agreement, have it ratified and complete the takeover needed to exit administration - an extremely unlikely scenario. The issue was discussed at a Conference board meeting on Thursday and Halifax will be notified of the rules in writing this week. Conference General Manager Dennis Strudwick said, 'We're in discussions with the administrator at the moment and I can't compromise my position by commenting any further. All I will say is that the competition will apply its rules'".
