George Byers' Red Card Upheld

GBRC2

We can confirm the club has been unsuccessful in appealing the red card received by George Byers in our Sky Bet League One fixture against Burton Albion. 

The midfielder was shown a straight red card for "Serious Foul Play" by referee Scott Oldham in the fifteenth minute of Saturday's 0-0 draw at the Pirelli Stadium.

Following an appeal hearing today (18 August) the original decision has been upheld by an FA Regulatory Commission. George will now serve a three-match ban.
