THURROCK have failed in their attempt to overturn a three-point penalty and subsequent relegation in a series of events rooted in an unpaid £16 fine.
Thurrock were penalised for fielding Joel Barnett, a player ineligible after not paying the fine two years ago.
The three-point penalty saw them relegated from the Isthmian Premier to Division One North.
A challenge against the the Football Association and Isthmian League has been rejected.
The Ship Lane side failed in appeals against the decision, both with the Isthmian League and the FA.
