Chester City have been deducted 25 points ahead of the Conference Premier season, but the club will play against Grays this weekend.
The club's future has come under threat since The Football Association refused their application for affiliation.
The FA raised a number of concerns after the Vaughan family resumed control of the club after a spell in voluntary financial administration.
Chester were already facing a ten point deduction result of going into liquidation and that punishment has been increased to 25 points.
It means Chester face a massive battle to stay in the Conference Premier this season, but they will at least now carry out their fixtures.
