No show Hall fined

Last updated : 30 May 2007 By The Chairman
Chris Hall has been fined two weeks wages by the club after failing to turn up for treatment on his broken leg. With most players on their holidays, the injured players are required to continue their treatment until physiotherapist Lee Nobes signs them off. Athletic have tried to contact Hall by letter and telephone but he has not been seen since early May.

Alan Hardy said, "I'm disappointed Chris has not had the courtesy of contacting the club to continue his rehabilitation work after his plaster cast was removed, despite numerous attempts to contact him by the physiotherapist and myself. This has resulted in us taking disciplinary action, the maximum two-week fine at this stage. We are still trying to make contact with Chris to determine the current situation but we haven't had anyresponse. Perhaps he'll turn up on Big Brother tomorrow night!"
