Chester Chairman Charged Concerning Calamity

Chester chairman Stephen Vaughan has denied a charge from the FA of violent conduct following the recent Shrewsbury vs Chester league clash.

After reviewing the evidence, Vaughan was charged in relation to a tunnel incident following the game and shortly after a mass brawl exploded on the pitch. Both clubs have been charged over the incidents towards the end of the game that saw a disputed penalty and Shrews defender Sagi Burton sent off.

In other news, former Macclesfield chairman Eddie Furlong has been charged by the FA with improper conduct. Furlong, who left the club in 2002, was in charge during the time the Estate Road stand was built. The club were heavily fined last season, and nearly went out of business, after a series of false and misleading invoices were found during an audit of their grant claims in regard to the stand.

Weymouth have extended the contract of ex-Bulls midfielder Ben Smith, keeping him at the Wessex Stadium until the summer of 2009. Smith has scored seven goals in 21 league games this season.
