Conference say we can, FA say we can't, so who knows!
Are the Conference not answerable to the FA?

As far as i'm concerned this changes nothing. It's an appeal for appeal's sake.

When the Beeb spoke with Steve Beasant this pm he was unaware of the appeal + confirmed that it was not them that put the appeal in!

Anyone else think KC may have lodged the appeal as a token gesture that will resound to the old statement of

"I have done everything in my power to prevent the club being wound up, including appealing the expulsion from the conference.......blah de blah de blah.....etc etc......."

It may help certain people sleep a mite bit easier one would imagine, as such lip service often does...... :roll:

So the Beeb managed to find Beazant when apparently no-one else in the world can, ;) I won't ever begrudge my licence fee again if they can pass on Stevie's details to those who really want to find him ;)

A rumour and I stress it it just a rumour is that the Japanese consortium will only back us IF we are in the conference at the very least. Like I said it is a rumour and I haven't been able to justify it, but IF it proves to be true then that may be the reason for the appeal.

The last sentence in this article is rather odd. Why would it make reference to the fans supporting the appeal? Makes me wonder whether this statement is aimed more to the fans than anyone else.

I see that KTFC are also issuing statements about the ground. I guess if there's a bit of life still left in the RDFC corpse it may help with negotiations!
