If I hadn't been paid for 21 weeks, I wouldn't have been making much of an effort in the last 20 of them.

That's far more than I would have done.

In the high court today. They either pay up or they are wound up today. Doesn't look good bearing in mind the above.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Any idea what happened? I'm sure they said it'd be announced at midday today.

Not heard anything yet today but I was told on Friday they had all but gone.

Gutted.

So what does this mean, a points deduction and administration, or are we basically going the same way as N*neaton?

They are facing a a winding up order in court so it would be similar to nuneaton I would imagine. i.e. reforming under new name etc. Unless an agreement is reached.

So being demoted a few divisions seems likely as well then?

if they reform they will start lower down.

Thought so.

I'm surprised this kinda thing hasn't happened to a league side before.

Accrington Stanley??

Accrington Stanley??

Who are they?

 

[fcukcov]

Who are they?

A football team from the Merseyside area that went bankrupt in the middle of the last century before reforming and working they're way through the leagues to become a league club again. They currently play in league 2.

Accrington Stanley??

Maidstone United. Dropped out of the League in 1992 on financial grounds and immediately folded.

By the start of the next season had been reformed as Maidstone Invicta in the Kent County League 4th division - a relegation of 7 levels. Now once again called Maidstone United and playing in Isthmian Premier (level 7)

Accrington Stanley??

I meant recently, with the finances in the mess they are in football.

Accrington is in the east of Lancashire; nowhere near Merseyside.

A minimum of two levels lower.
