I have to admit they've gone down with far more of a whimper than I expected. Perhaps the writing was on the wall after Mark Stimson took them on the run that saw them fail to win a league game in November and December, culminating in the two 5-0 thrashings by Luton.

I see one or two Poppies fans are finally questioning what Stimson did - and why he didn't bring in the extra players that have since been allowed.

The impact of Rolls arrival seems to have made no difference either on the pitch or to the levels of investment either (apart from the short-term Betfair money).

Those on Poppynet still seem to have listed up to 10 of their current squad they'd like to see playing for them next season - amazing!

I still see the various decisions they've made as being part of a bigger plan, as you don't just make decisions like the Nene Park move, the lack of due diligence on the move, the lack of any commercial activity, the Maison and Stimson appointments and what they were "allowed" to do, the giveaway pricing etc without some kind of underlying winding down plan.

The big question really is "what does KC want from the site" long term? Obviously he doesn't care about the locals wishes for the local football team and KTFC playing there eases his financial committments, whilst he still makes a few quid from hiring it out to them and also the boot sales income.

K*ttering won't be playing at Nene Park next season it will be flattened for building I would imagine. Just what Kc would have wanted no doubt?

So most of there fans are going to pick and choose the games they go and watch at nene park, who would watch Vauxhall motors!?? Fair play I wouldn't buy a season ticket either if I was in there position .

So how on earth are they going to pay the players through summer and start of season plus pay all of the bills!!!??? If we couldn't do it in the BSP how are they going to do it in BSN? Surley rolls ain't going to pump hundreds of thousands into them to survive.
