Desperate measures.....

Oh come on! It's the Hillier Cup! We've just spent a couple of weeks talking down the Junior Cup, well the HSC is basically the same thing. Course no one's going to turn up, it's a rainy Tuesday with Champions League on the telly. :roll:

Well we did have 518 people on Saturday, watching a very under strength AFCRD side, playing in the Junior version of this county cup. However, I agree there wasn't the attraction of ManUre playing on the telly against a Romanian side who I had never heard of.
I suppose those that turned up Saturday were only there for the excellent real ale. ;)

Our u18s got 66 turn up tonight!!! That's more than their first eleven.

When things weren't as bad the Poppies would have got 200 or 300 turn up to watch the game.

34 fans is a massive statement, they're fucked, only time will tell when that moment finally arrives.

This posted on the ET website, I think hits the nail on the head with whats happening

Look this is getting suspicious.

Has Mr Ladak signed as gurantor for the ground. Thus, if KTFC had moved to groundshare at Corby Mr Ladak would become liable to pay off the lease?

However, is there a clause that negates this agreement if the club completely folds?

Seems the only reasonable explanation for Mr Ladak's apparent determination to close the club.

Possibly but youd be assuming ladak was intelligent and that is a big assumption. Id have had more respect if hed come out and been straight but there you are boys will be boys. Thankfully a hardcore of our support figured it out a while ago.

Only suposition on my part but it looks like either the club closes or someone takes over Mr Ladak's guarantee. He can't get someone to do it so he will close the club down, permanantly

Don't see this theory. If that was the case he would've closed the club down ages ago (the winding-up order he staved off in April).

[paulk]

Jeez. Sorry . Sara Pascoe. Maybe but that would be assuming ladaks intelligent -big assumption. The saving grace is a hardcore of ketterings support figured it out a while ago hence a fans club.

One guy on there says there was no PA and no one on the terrace, can't imagine how bad the atmosphere must of been, the atmosphere was dreadful for games with a few 100 when we were there, so 34 watching a match must have been bizarre. And to think that may have been their last ever first team game and only 34 were there to see it

[mattreddan]

Whatever competition it was in, 34 is embarrassingly low, champions league on the tele or not.

As it's been stated, there was youth teams pulling bigger crowds tonight so that excuse is bollocks.

The only people I feel sorry for is the players. This is their lives. Phil Ifil was playing in front of 30,000+ a few years back, now he's playing in front of 34? That must be heartbreaking.

Apparently Oscar Radford, who departed after last evening's match actually turned the lights out in the dressing room. He has played in every minute of every match this season so for him to be leaving the end is surely nigh.

[Biggles]

The End game is nigh, i do believe that there are potential investors/buyers as the Nene park Complex always attracts interest however given the neglect over the past few years the whole place will cost a shed load of money, not just the purchase figure from KC but the costs to update the plant and renevate the complex.

Also you have the Sausage problem, he controls the Diamond center with know doubt a long Sub lease from Sadact so that reduces any new owners use of the facilities and would you want Sausage as a Tenant dragging you good name through the mud.

Then again there are many plonkers with money out there and Football seems to send many Business people soft in the head, nothing would surprise me nowdays in the Saga of KTFC.
