NPL 2026

FV did its job, and rightly so, and took the 3 points hanging over Preston, as was always going to happen and they knew it, atleast it forced them to clean things up (we can hope!).. Nk conspiracy here whatsoever! The alternative was to punish all fans and have zero away fans at atleast 3 of the grounds! Is that the alternative wanted?

These days the extra punishment for stupid exlusionist stuff comes from elsewhere not the clubs, these arent club driven agendas etc! If it was, then the incidents at all 3 greek grounds wouldve led Preston back to the state leagues!
 
Following an Independent Tribunal hearing on Tuesday evening, Football Victoria (FV) can confirm the sanctions imposed on Preston Lions FC (PLFC) in relation to incidents surrounding its NPL Victoria Men’s fixture on Saturday, 18 July.
The Tribunal determined the following sanctions:

A three-point deduction for the 2026 season, activated from the suspended three-point penalty from 2025.
A further suspended six-point deduction, in place until the commencement of the 2028 season, to be activated should the club receive a further MP10 sanction in FV administered competitions during that period.
A fine of 150 Penalty Units ($16,500) in relation to the MP10 breach and 15 Penalty Units ($1,650) in relation to the MP5D breach.
Restrictions on Preston Lions supporters attending away fixtures next season, with attendance limited to registered club members who present photo identification. PLFC will be responsible for managing and ensuring compliance with these restrictions.

The three-point deduction and fines will be enforced at the conclusion of the appeal window on Wednesday, August 26.

The Tribunal’s sanctions are in addition to those announced last week, relating to the club being issued its second strike under FV's Three Strike Policy.

Am I misreading it but:

Does this mean 3 point deduction already applied PLUS a further 3 point suspended points deduction?

If so thats brutal.

I’m finding it difficult to understand as well because it sounds like the suspended 3 points is the deduction. Plus 6 points suspended and a $17k-ish fine. Limiting Preston fans to away games is dumb as fuck knowing the money we bring to other clubs
 
By my reading its -3 handed down last week which was the suspended 3 points, plus another 3 now.

Does the away game policy actually work favourably for Preston? It would give a lot more people incentive to become members perhaps?

- Another 6 points
- 16k plus 2 games behind closed doors

What an absoloute farce this organsation is

so is that -6 at the start of the season, and another -3 points now, so -9 in total?

the other -6 points is just suspended sentence if you fuck up from now till the start of 2028 season.

thats how i am understanding it?

The away fans rule is just dumb.

So we started minus 6

Lost 3 to the ffv strike rule

Now the 3 suspended has also been activated so total 12

From my interpretation it’s this:

-3 points deduction from the remaining suspended points (last week)
-6 point deduction until 2028
17k fine
“PLFC will be responsible for managing and ensuring compliance with these restrictions.” - this is probably where they’ll find is the greyest

The fv 2nd strike automatically deducts 3 points and there is no appeal process. That was deducted last week

These next 3 wont be removed until the appeal date expires

"The three-point deduction and fines will be enforced at the conclusion of the appeal window on Wednesday, August 26"

They probably want to punish them but at the same time don’t want them playing in front of an empty stand and to lose all the matchday revenue.

Fuck it, i don’t want to be a rat or a dibber dobber or anything but I’m thinking about attending more Preston games as a neutral just to aid with the self policing..I’ll be equipped with a video camera and won’t hesitate to send any incriminating behaviour to the relevant authorities ..police on speed dial ofcourse 😡😡
