If that isn't 'shit or bust' I don't know what is.

Big contracts, low ST prices, it'll be interesting to see how it goes, especially since their opening games look quite difficult. Although having said that if you've already got their money it doesn't matter how the team does because they'll probably keep coming through the turnstiles to get value for money.

More detail on the BBC

I guess really you have to say, unproven, C team youth player, wants regular football rather than waste away in the Bolton or Orient (who also had a look at him apparently) Reserve team and make his name in the English game quickly. Will not be getting paid a kings ransom I would not have thought.

So apart from the obvious big name link to Real Madrid - is this really a major signing?

It looks like they are going for it. Will it work????

If you believe what you hear, a big crowd next week at Nene Park to watch them v Newport.

IL expects to sell lots of season tickets, even some diamonds fans have bought them.

Interesting times for them anyway!!!!!!

Real Madrid, Leic players = deep pockets required.

Shhhh bozzer, thats akin to saying Voldermorte out loud - he never had anything to do with KC, we know thats true cos KC told us !! ;)

Shit or bust at trying to make the move work - I bet the Ploppy hypocrites that said they'd never go to NP will snatch up their cheap tickets as quick as whores ripping off their drawers :lol:

Shameful !! Any ex-Diamond going there should be ashamed of themselves !!

20 Diamonds fans have taken up on the free ST swap offer, I just hope they're going to sell their ticket to a K*ttering fan and don't intend on going to watch them. Will be doing the same and selling it on, but not looking forward to having to go there again, will be a very weird experience picking up a K*ttering season ticket from what should be our ground, the whole thing is just f*cked up.
