I keep hearing that the tax due to be paid by the 2nd April is approximately £40k but didn't Ladak arrange with their shirt sponsor, ID Medical, to make a payment on account to HMRC when the hearing for the winding up petition was deferred?

Seems only so much was paid just to stave the tax man off for a few weeks.

Don't think anyone knows. A payment on account was obviously paid from monies advanced by ID Medical but there no is news on Ploppynet concerning the likelihood of a favourable outcome on the 2nd April. Perhaps George has a plan? :roll:

The 374 apparently included quite a few Leicester fans.

Take out the leicester fans and just proves the fans have given up, probably only just covered the cost of putting the lights on.

Blue square have i think an exclusive deal and will not be happy bunnies with Kettrin.
I see the Poppynet clan have finally twigged this might be an issue. One hopes the average Poppies fan is a bit smarter than the group on Poppynet, as they need their wits about them if they are to save their club.
