I'd say 100 points would be more appropriate.

Cheats

Is it just coincidence, I wonder, that they've delayed going into admin and reaping the 10-point deduction until that leaves them just about certain nevertheless to stay up?

It's a wonder that anyone gives football clubs credit terms anymore!

I'd like to be a football manager please!

More here on Llanelli (from which you can ascertain how much they were (or weren't) paying their players to entertain "crowds" of about 120....)

Ouch.

300 quid a week isn't bad for a club with such small gates

I'd settle for that for 90 minutes' work....

This Club never ceases to amaze me - make a promise & then break it .. how not to win friends etc-etc!!

Things are not good at Aldershot:

Have been exchanging tweets with a Hereford (and ex-TNS, ex-AFCTU) player of my acquaintance.... the PFA are giving the Bulls players no help whatever re their unpaid wages. Maybe they've had other priorities this week....



This from my Hereford Reporter...

It seems the Directors no longer want to fund the club, not sure where 135k is going to come from to cover the outstanding Wages/VAT/PAYE/Water the grass through the summer!
We could be looking at the next Chester/Halifax/Aldershot/Newport that is if Aldershot don't go bust before us!

(Good spot by Simon....)

Willenhall forced to quit Noose Lane by financial pressures...

http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2013 ... ve-ground/

Not quite sure how they can afford to play at Long Lane if they can't afford to pay the rent on Noose Lane... but that's their concern - I wonder if the Long Lane ground is that where Wyrley Rangers used to play (RIP)?

Weren't Warstones Rangers based there at some point?

Long Lane is where Great Wyrley Juniors are now based. It's a new set up and where they now play all of the Cannock Chase Sunday League Cup Finals.

Over 200 season tickets already sold for next season...

I think I'd be wanting a written guarantee that I get my money back if they don't survive the summer...

You'll have heard that Aldershot have gone into admin today.

Some clubs just never learn...

Strangers have sold 50 season tickets for next year! Fair play to them and their optimistic fans

Easier for them to fix prices though, they've known for some time which league they're going to be in next year, more than many local clubs can say...

Not just a club, but a whole city....

Have to say, I've always doubted this stuff about productivity going up just because a football team wins a game or two, or a trophy.... and yet, after our last three midweek wins, I've been absolutely buzzing for the rest of each week, so maybe there's something in it!!

Hodges' contract at Truro won't be renewed

http://nonleague.pitchero.com/news/hodg ... um=twitter#_

Somehow I doubt if he's too upset

...however 9000 season ticket holders is still pretty impressive for League 1 and they would probably be guaranteed 15000 at each game providing ticket prices were realistically priced. My mate's a Carlisle fan and the other's a WOlves fan and we're already waiting for the fixture list to come out - well, the WOlves fan is less keen than we are - (hopefully no clash with HTFC as obviously I would be at our game).

I like the comment about taking the opportunity to do some shopping and have a few drinks before / after going to the game. If you want to browse charity shops and window shop for mortgage rates then the 'city' is well served indeed.


I notice that Coventry are planning to leave the Ricoh having been locked out!!

(chuckles)

Maybe they could groundshare with Wolves then the city would have an influx of people every Saturday rather than just every other one...
