Wasn't that going to be tomorrow?

Personally I think we've got a new home shirt for the 2011/12 season and it's bright pink with yellow trim.

Stuart is this one of your 31-0 predictions or are you serious? ;) :|

This is one of my 31-0 predictions.. ;)

It's not the first time one of your posts has completely thrown me.

Of course it could still be bad news, that would be annoying. :lol:

I'm sure that someone said that the personal hearing was on Friday? If we've been deducted 5 this season it's really not that bad.

Tomorrow the hearing isn't it?

Yes the hearings tomorrow. The announcemnet may well be bad news, but at least we may actually get some news!

Joe Day confirmation maybe?

Guys, part of the announcement will be the £100k + Joe Day Posh deal. That will be the good news!

The Conference board meets on Friday to discuss our case and if unsuccessful it will be a maximum 5 points penalty. So if mitigation works we could, therefore, get up to 5 points.

Lets hope we get some answers so we can have faith in the owners and move forward accordingly. The major worry in the camp is where the income will come from to pay wages over the summer - and of course when they are all going to get the additional 50% still owed for this month.

Or start every game 5-0 down for the next 5 seasons.

Thanks Pressman, put my mind at rest a bit!

Thanks for the info Pressman.

I have just been reliably informed that there is an important board meeting going on at the club right now and apparently ongoing debts are at the top of the agenda.

I have just emailed the club to see if a separate announcement is due today to provide us all with much needed information regarding the financial position of the club.

Thanks Chris, really appreciate you keeping us up to date.
