MYSTERIOUS: Warrenpoint town say licence refusal could have catastrophic effect | Mind Blowing Facts

Warrenpoint Town has warned the Irish FA's decision to refuse the club a Championship Licence and Promotion Licence for participation next season could have a "catastrophic effect" on football in South Down.

In a statement released on Friday morning the club revealed the refusal centred on an outstanding liability to HMRC of which the club was unaware, and was settled in full within a matter of days after it had been brought to the club’s attention by the IFA.

The Point were due to play Dungannon Swifts in the promotion/relegation play-off, but this has now been postponed to allow the club's appeal to be heard next Wednesday, May 10.
