Game tomorrow postponed v Corby as manager has resigned and possibly players, another club with financial problems? Manager says broken promises and unpaid wages

I think anyone who went there last game of the season and saw how basic the ground was must have been surprised at the level of players that went there in pre season. With crowds still below 100 even sitting second in the league it wasn’t for that reason either. Clearly it’s about the money and they must have been throwing it about quite considerably. Never going to be sustainable and only a matter of time, just surprised it’s this soon.!!

It'll be interesting whether they complete the season, limp on with a new manager and vastly reduced squad, or fold altogether - looking at twitter - their owner is on an extended 'holiday' and being radio silent on paying players etc. isnit reallt worth gambling with the clubs future for 1 or 2 months of success

Their squad last night v Lye only included one player from their previous match, the sub goalie.

To their immense credit, they took the lead against lye town only to lose 2-1 late on

Blyth Spartans in a lot of trouble also, their chairman has decided to sell up, and they've been unable to fulfill their fixtures against Gainsborough Trinity and FC United this week.

Walsall v Bedworth been called off. Writing on the wall?

Latest statement tonight says they are trying very hard working behind the scenes to continue.

Walsall have postponed Tuesday game away to Sutton Coldfield

Looks almost likely that they're not going to complete the season
