Easy...Utility Bills, Rates,Ground Lease,Payment of (some)wages, etc. Plenty going out but precious little coming in ! :lol:

Well you can't believe what Ladak says but if it is true then that's astounding. The rent is being paid by Ladak so you can take that out of the possible £200k. £40k's worth of utility bills (considering it's supposedly £10k a month), then maybe £30k for players' and management wages over the last few months (that haven't been paid). Then what else?

I think they will struggle with the catchment area.

Bookmakers never have their ears to the ground when it comes to non-league football. Every year there's a basket case and every year they get taken to the cleaners before they suspend betting on the basket case. See Weymouth in 2009, K*ttering v Grimsby in 2011 and K*ttering last weekend. Even if KTFC weren't in huge trouble to field a side 2.3 is still weird odds considering Bashley have actually won a couple of games this year.

It's not a certainty that they'll win but it is great value considering the situation. IIRC a load of Weymouth fans bet on us to win and used the money they won to try and save their club. Maybe KTFC fans should do the same and give the money to KFC to help them start up.

I have bet on k*ttering couple of times now, 2 have come in and Bedford let me down. This fixture is good value but looking at the stats I think this is anyone's for the taking, it would take someone brave to put big money on this fixture ;)

Yeah but I think stats sort of go out the window when you consider the circumstances K*ttering are in. They lost to Cambridge when they were 2nd bottom at home, they lost to Concord Rangers (who are near the bottom of the Isthmian) at home last week. Now with a manager who hasn't been paid since July and 13 players if they're lucky (two of those being goalkeepers) I think it's fair to say you'd give a big edge to the team that aren't in turmoil and facing liquidation.

Is this some sort of back handed compliment?
