I seem to remember that Downes (the investor at Hinckley who has ultimately called in his loan which has contributed to this situation) was hailed as a club savior when he strode into town. It's a sign of what can happen when the toys get thrown out of the pram or the money dries up
Due to current uncertainties surrounding Eastwood Town the match Loughborough Dynamo v Eastwood Town due to be played on Saturday 2nd November 2013 has been postponed.
