Droylsden boss Dave Pace has "called for football chiefs to show no mercy to clubs like Halifax who go into administration... Pace, who has personally invested £4.2 million in the Bloods believes the Shaymen have got off lightly ... 'The 10-point penalty is a joke... the clubs should be relegated. I could very easily have paid the majority of my squad £2,000 a week, got to 55 points and then said I didn't have enough money, taken the ten-point penalty and stayed in the league. But I don't do things like that. I work all hours to run this club properly and always will do but perhaps I'm too honest... What has happened over the last couple of years does not make the Conference look very good... If we were flying at the top of the table I would still be saying these things. Maybe I'm just not as clever as the people who manipulate the rules for their own benefit'".
