Hats off to Jon Dunham on the reporting front, twitter account @JonDunhamNT work following
Yes, there's about 5 Tweets a minute at the moment :shock: , I have to say, reading what went on yesterday, I thought they would get the players for tonight, but I suppose I should learn my lesson with anything that comes out of that side of the A45 not holding up.

Interesting to read about EDF position and the fact that they had been helping them through things.
It is the duty of the power companies to try and offer help and ways round of paying the Bills, they only cut the power when they believe all other options have been exhausted and then they have to get a court order to cut off the juice.

Mr Sadact is reported to have actually turned up at the Court yesterday morning and pleaded the usual crap that the debt was nothing to do with him and its everbody else that is at fault.

He faces the courts again very soon unless he pays the CVA outstanding amounts, i would imagine he would face the judge with a bit of paper with a promise of riches to come if you give me another few weeks and i can see the courts giving him said time, however the fines and the further points deductions could be mounting from failing to fulfill Fixtures.

The irony of Andy Gray on Talksport saying that Ketterin Town are a "real part of the town".

Great point, a club that deserves its fate if ever one did.
Indeed, as much as I have sympathy for the supporters in what has been a continuous farce that never fails to deliver twists and turns, I would be very annoyed to see the club survive after the way its treated so many people and companies so badly and the list just seems to keep growing, no way doe it deserve to survive and I just hope Sadact is unable to delay the inevitable any further.

And how is Jon Dunham surprised at the postponement, I would have been more surprised if it had gone ahead and ploppy fans should be grateful it didn't as with even less players than Saturday, they would have done well to keep the score below 20!

That made me laugh.

Out of interest Rushden School have a year 11 night at, wait for it, "The Diamonds Center" (that's what the school communication has called it) this week, should be OK if it gives them guidance on being a plummer or an electrician lol!

Not sure it will be on though
Still Say that Van Der Veldan had the most amazing ball control of any player at our club.

Jon Dunham is a bit of a tit anyway, is he a K*ttering fan?

Noticed a couple of times on his Tweeter feed this week that he gets a bit bitchy with other media outlets about covering the Poppies.

He's just pointed out to talk sport that the ET give K*ttering coverage EVERY day and yesterday he signed off a tweet saying K*ttering news always comes from him first.

As much as i'm enjoying watching the demise of a 'once great club' reading all of the twitter posts keeps a wry smile on my face during my day.

However I can't help but feel for the fans, there are some really decent ones, and I know a few of them. I don't really care about the CVA situation, that's a business thing, and a risk that everyione takes doing business (especially with a football club nowadays), afterall R&DFC left a lot of people out of money too, didn't we?

I remember how I felt when we were finally done, and how bad I felt that these people had just played with my club for their own gain, this is exactly the same as what is now happening at K*ttering although it's been dragged out a lot longer, and during a season!

I will remember with great fondness games between diamonds and K*ttering, and it's a shame that it appears that this won't happen again for a fair while.

I won't shed a tear if they go out of business, but I also won't gloat about it either.
I feel sorry for people who don't drink................when they wake up in the morning, that's the best they're going to feel all day.

The difference there is that we went into administration (and still are) with a view to being wound up. The Plops set up a CVA agreeing to pay their creditors next to nothing, then carried on doing business claiming to have one of the biggest budgets in their league, only to turn around and stop paying everyone all over again, including, it would appear, the pittance they are supposed to be paying to the creditors that they've already screwed over once.

We are still working very hard to win back some of the businesses that lost out when the old club went into admin, as part of our partnership scheme, which is designed to engage with local business and hopefully generate more income for them.
