Fair play to them, at least they're trying something eh? I still dislike them with a passion, but as we know only too well, they're limited with what they can actually do - the money men pull the strings don't they !

As fans all they can do is protest, then try to pick up the bits when the proverbial hits the fan !!

As I rival fan I want to point and laugh, but it just angers me that people like Ladick and our "chum" can just murder a club and get away with it, they don't understand football, they have no conscience, they just don't give a toss and the bit that annoys me the most is they constantly get away with it because the football authorities don't have the balls to put a stop to them !

Ladick doesn't care what they think and a protest won't change anything - but credit where its due, at least they're having a punt !

why would they have to maintain the ground??? surely thats down to kc isnt it? after all if i rent a room in a hotel surely i wouldnt be expected to paint the room as i left :lol: couldnt believe at the start off the season when they asked for volunteers to clean the place up ,surely kc should have paid to have this done :mrgreen:

You are renting the hotel room not leasing it.
Certain essential maintenance is usually the responsibility of the leaseholder. That's why the landlord of the S&E building was trying to charge RDFC in the region of £125k for repairs to the building.

Makes a mockery of (rightly) throwing us out to protect the integrity of the competition when this sort of thing is now going to happen year-in year-out.

Maintenance was probably the wrong word to use but what I meant really was utilities etc and general running costs.

That must mean their embargo has been lifted.

No it doesn't mean that. The Conference have agreed to the two loan/work experience signings to bring their squad strength up to 16.

You have to give it to Barry Fry. He helped us out as much as he could, and is now trying to help K*ttering from all reports.


He's a good bloke who loves his football. Having met him last year he wants to help any team survive he can.

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.

I see reports on poppynet tonight reference BBC reports of apparent problems with the planned takeover..........
Still Say that Van Der Veldan had the most amazing ball control of any player at our club.
