Re: Derby away parking fine

Is it a "fine" from a private company or a proper, legally enforceable fine from a local authority or the police?

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

It's the downs in the National League that I find most fascinating. Oxford City in 24th place are as good as doomed, but the next ten points from 42 to 52 span 14 teams, right up to Rochdale in 1oth place, who are only eight points outside the play-offs. In fact, ten teams span the five points betwe...

Re: Weekend Football

genuinely baffled at top PL clubs pushing up season ticket prices when they are raking in so much money from elsewhere Man City announce they are pushing up season ticket prices. Seen someone online estimate it will bring in the club roughly an extra £2.5M per season. They have pissed off their fan...

Re: Who do you consider to be a rival?

I "academically" consider Oxford, Swindon, and Aldershot our rivals, but there's no venom there. I have much more hatred for West Ham (both for Pardew and because of their Allardyce-era thuggery), Cardiff, and anyone associated with Neil Warnock. Same. Not the warnock thuggery, but the Ke...

Re: The phoenix club thread

Some big European clubs in crisis are fan led. Barcelona have presidents elected by fans and have been hurt by stupid populist promises. Schalke in Germany have a similar story. You'd hope a phoenix club would vote more sensibly, but it's easy enough to imagine a generation of supporters 25 years d...

Re: The phoenix club thread

The idea of fans directly running the club is laughable and always ends in disaster, and people suggesting that don't really understand the concept or support/community ownership. The successful way to do this (for instance AFCW's model, and also the model of a community-owned professional club I'm ...

Re: The phoenix club thread

Depends where a space can be conveniently found with least "disruption" so it would likely be tier 9/10. Bury and Macclesfield both started at Tier 9 (NWCLPremier) which, down here, would equate to the Hellenic Premier or, more likely, the CCL Premier North with progression being most lik...

Knowing a little bit about insolvency protocol one massive no no is hiving off assets prior to any form of insolvency process beginning.

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Warnock resigns at Aberdeen The club's a mess but the general consensus of the fans is that he walked in there and thought he'd piss it without putting in any effort. That's a seriously underperforming squad they've got and 2pts in 6 league games tells it's own story. Alternatively, as he's a Morto...

Re: The 92 Club - how many have you done?

I did get up to 84 of the 92, but have let it slip since I moved away from the South so not been to places like West Ham & Spurs recently. Impressive numbers. Had a look at doing West Ham. Would be able to get down to their game against Freiburg next Thursday (17:45 kick-off), but saw ticket pr...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Also, i'm not an expert in this, but in the case of administration I think that Dai does still have to agree to the sale. The votes on whether a proposed sale or any other settlement are amongst the creditors, with the number of votes for each creditor being proportional to how much each is owed. S...
