A glimpse of sunshine in the storm...

I'm sorry but the club hasn't let anyone down, the only ones responsible for that are the Beasants. I don't know the ins and outs of the clubs finances but I put this mess solely down to them!! :evil:

Sorry, i didn't mean it in that way, just in the way that the Beasants are now the club and have therefore affected our whole set up including our youth players and will continue to do so until something happens.

The worst thing for me is the Beasants will come up with so many excuses for why they have failed at the club:

1)PBdevs was hit by setbacks meaning the funding was not there in time.
2)The fans did not support the club in it's hour of need. via shares season tickets etc. (probably the worst excuse for me personally) and to think it all started of so positively with the promises they made.

Well I certainly hope they don't, cause we all know that would be b*llocks. If they think everyone's going to buy STs for a club that might not exist in a few weeks/months then they're deluded. I presume ST sales are lower than they would usually be at this stage, probably about 300-400 I'd guess at this stage but it would take 100s, if not 1000s more ST purchases to get us out of this mess.

A penniless chairman at Rushden & Diamonds = ruin.

And therein lies our fundamental problem. We must ascertain IF there is a level that the club can support a football team, whatever the level and status that is. If it means starting over with a youth team at Zamaretto or lower, then people MUST commit to support it and not just the level we are playing at.

Fantastic news if true, and shows that the Supporters' Trust is still alive and kicking. They really need a way of promoting themselves though, and announcing this type of thing.

What, like this thing all ready and waiting?

Things must of happened before hand and maybe just maybe they had been handed the titanic on its final voyage.

Titanic only had ONE voyage ;)

I just find is rather coincidental that every club they've been involved with has then had money problems and gone into major shit.

Not going to help us in our current state but I don't think Steve Beasant IIRC has been on the board of other clubs. He tried to take charge at Weymouth but his offer was rejected on the grounds that he couldn't proove he had any money after his property developing business failed. Liam is just two minutes out of the Paras!
So not much experience at running a football club there I'm afraid.

Gary Calder, however, was involved at Weymouth and Hornchurch and possibly others as CEO.

Thats right, rumours being though the club is on the verge of going out of total existance rather than points deductions, league deductions etc

I am willing to help but hope its all not too late.

Although I'm normally a pessimist, I don't believe we are sunk YET. TBH rumours are one thing but I never listen to them. Lets just hope eh?

I bought my season ticket with the club taking out £100 a month. They took the first payment straight away that was over 2months ago and still they have not taken another payment, when i phoned the club they just say they will look into it. This is a club that needs money
