And in response to this guy's post, at least we're in a league and we have a club with a bright and exciting future, which is more than they'll be able to say soon. As I've said before, looking forward to AFC K*ttering v AFC R&D next season in the UCL :D

From Dunham's twitter;-

@JonDunhamET We started the season with such high hopes. Four months later it feels like future Saturday's will be spent on the golf course

Although I feel that Nene Park will be their tomb, that sounds like they won't make Christmas!

For that to happen they'll need to get their act together fairly quickly and look into organising themselves, otherwise it'll be too late as it was for us this year. I dislike the club intensely as you all know, but I don't and never have wanted to see them go under and I hope they survive all of this - and I really mean that.

It is funny watching them wriggle on the hook, especially after the way so many of them acted when we went under, but I do realise their are some decent fans amongst their number (Nic for example) who will be suffering as we did last year and that isn't a nice feeling for any true football fan.

As Formic said, this is playing into certain people's hands and with NP having a track record of being a graveyard to 2 football clubs, I'm sure the question of sustainability will be raised and whether or not its time to change the covenants on the land questionned.

The end game is starting to become apparent isn't it?

must admit that things look bad for them

Again like you, I wouldn't wish what happened to us happen to them, but like you say the end game is in sight, with no club able to make a go of it at Nene park, KC will be badgering the council, for change of use............ah well at least the area will have a half decent hotel 8-)

I'm not as noble, clearly, as others here. To see them going bust after moving into Nene Park would be one of the highlights of my football-following life. Sweet, sweet justice. Not getting carried away yet, however.

Seems they might be getting their act together

Fair play to them if they pull it off, they're not in the same position as we were in (yet!), but the plump lady is clearing her throat it seems.

I will say this, I'm enjoying my football more now than I have done in years, I've met new people and feel much more a part of things, its "propa", if you know what I mean :D

Perhaps IL is going to announce tomorrow he is giving K*ttering to the beasants so that they can take it to the next level!

I did read somewhere on poppynet perhaps ketterin 1872 vs AFC R&D boxing day 2012 in the UCL!!

The similarities are really quite something, the conjecture, the infighting, the just-not-knowing, I almost feel sorry for them. I'm delighted they are suffering and hope all goes to plan and they get royally shafted. After that I genuinley hope they can get their act together and rebuild as we have as a fan run club and we all get back to some proper rivalry on the pitch. My only fear is that KC and IL will profit in some way having fucked over two sets of fans, if there is any justice in the world hopefully the gods will conspire some kind of horrific accident involving sexually agressive goats.
