Myself i can see the whole enterprise collapse and Sadact will sell up and let others with real backing most likely change the name fully to try and get both sets of locals to support a totally new team.
Indeed - it was never made clear why the Conference took so long to ratify the move to Nene Park, but there were strong suspicions they wanted to limit how long a club called K*ttering could play outside of their borough.

I don't think Ladak appreciates that the "problem fans" they have will always put families off - they've already had a racism incident and fans being ejected for fighting amongst themselves last weekend.

It appears that the fighting among themselves was, aledgedley, between two brothers. They always dis like to keep it in the family in K*ttering

I think it might have also happened when we beat them in the FA Cup last season.

He is certainly trying very hard to make a go of it, its a pity that there weren't one or two with similar ambition running things at NP last season!

Unfortunately the only way they are going to get bodies through the gate is by winning matches, not by reducing ticket prices

Not really, he did this last year and it didn't work, they're just too stupid on their forum to recognise that. If anything it will cost them money.

On average pretty much a few got arrested each game.

I see they're a little obsessed with what we post as well (and a little insecure about AFC existing! ;) ). I think it would be better to move these K*ttering topics to the Pub or at least have a single topic.

This please! Of course everyone's curious to see what happens but surely we can just keep it in one topic, possibly in the Off Topic section?

So am I to assume the alleged conference ruling of single price point around the ground either does not apply this year in all areas of a ground or was that more smoke and bullshit mirrors foisted on us by the inept triplet last year?
