Conference Transfer Windows?

Last updated : 11 June 2005 By Stray Shots Team

Full details are not yet known but it appears that at the next Nationwide Conference AGM (being held later today), clubs will be subject to the “transfer window” rules. This will mean that no players could be signed between August and December (inclusive) or from February through to the end of the season. The “window” opens for just one month in January.

It is also believed that the Conference are attempting to be granted a special exemption regarding loan players via the FA and FIFA and, if agreed, clubs will be informed as to how many short and/or long term loan players can be used in any one match.

A decision is also expected on the future of Northwich Victoria who were this week launching an appeal following their late relegation from the Conference.
