FA charge Fylde players with misconduct after betting probe
The charges come just days before the Coasters take their place in the top tier of English non-league football with a home match against Boreham Wood on Saturday.
AFC Fylde manager Dave Challinor has already said that the people involved could be on the verge of learning a 'harsh lesson'.
The five indivuals concerned have not been named and no-one at the club was available for comment.
Club chairman David Haythornthwaite was said to be away on holiday.
