Do you really believe that was a lucky coincidence ? I certainly don't.

Like so many others I don't believe it was a coincidence either, people will believe what they want to believe but I for one have my views on what happened and as far as I'm concerned there's no way on this earth that this was ever a coincidence.

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised to see 2500 there, especially when you consider that Newport will likely bring quite a few with them. Having said that, though, I also wouldn't be surprised if they were struggling to get half that by the season's end.

Whatever. Forza AFC!

Might be interesting to compare our first home game in the Conference at NP to theirs.
Once the honeymoon is over . . .

It looks like the old 2500 break even of Keith Cousins has raised it's head again. :lol:

What piffle! why not go the whole hog and say that K*ttering will change their name at the end of this season and a new club will be launched from it. Sheer nonsense!!!!

No Fentiger you're wrong there. Actually it has been planned over the last 3 and a bit years during an on-going series of meetings between KC and IL

I think the emoticons fentiger added to the post are meant to imply the irony of it Chammie.

Whoooooshhhhh! ;) :lol:

2047 was the attendance today according to their website. How long before a name change ........

And that was with about 500+ Newport fans and some seriously cheap season tickets, what wuld it have been with hayes and yeading and some normal season ticket prices?

'Their future is dependent on how deep IL's pockets are and whether there is investment'

For IL substitute Max Griggs, and there lives a rather different sorry tale.
