You are of course correct, BUT, I hate them for moving into Nene Park and hope they expire there.
The renaming of the Peter De Banke was a particularly nasty thing for them to do, it seemed designed to hurt us further. If they had remamed one of the other stands after Dale I'm sure most of us would have congratulated them on that at least, but what they did shows a total lack of class.

With you on that, Sid. If they were still at RR i'd laugh at their results but besides that wouldn't really care. But the fact they're at Nene Park really irritates me.

Still Say that Van Der Veldan had the most amazing ball control of any player at our club.

How interesting it would be if KTFC actually go bust before R&DFC?

I really don't care about them, honestly, I don't !! Their predicament does put me in one of my own though. Part of me (a tiny, teeny, microscopic bit) feels sorry for them, we told them, we warned them, but they chose to ridicule us and believe the spin they were being peddled. Its weird, we're not surprised by this are we? Another part of me remembers some of the threads on Ploppynet when we went to the wall and wants to chuckle, no, laugh uncontrollably. I guess whats happening is football's version of karma eh? ;)

I'm really enjoying AFC R&D and the one message I will send out to K*ttering fans is you'll do likewise - you may find you'll enjoy it all the more. They have the advantage of time which we didn't. They should be able to hit the ground running with a Senior side if they pull their fingers out and get the fans behind them. They still have a ground at RR and may be able to do a deal to extend the lease, in many ways they're better placed than we are.

I'm really hoping we do meet up next year in the UCL, it'll make things a little more interesting eh? :D

Good to see that again, they'll be eating their words soon when they're playing the 'Nags Head' (no offence to ucl teams) with us :lol:

I do feel slight sympathy for them with potentially getting hammered every week and it is when you think about it pretty sad and wrong that both our clubs have had to start phoenix clubs because of certain people but I'm not gonna feel sad for them when they do go bust

Could this make next season a bit more interesting? Presumably if they go the same way as RDFC they will look to enter a team in the UCL next season? Unlike AFC R&D they will more than likely have the time to enter a men's team in the first season, in which case is it not likely that we will be playing in the same league?

I'd much rather the scum survived and fell down to our level than went out of business and reformed to be honest... much more fun.

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.

Sadact is still chasing that peskey Sponsor who is still looking in his sofa for the small change to pay the outstanding amount so its only a small matter and all will be well soon said Mr Sadact from his villa in Spain.

Sighs of relieve heard from Kettrin and the signed photos of Sadact doing a moonie are once again unfolded and the poopy faithful start licking his Ass as normal.
