I know, its so up and down for them at the moment, one day they're going bust, the next day they have Cooper back and think they're getting invested in and then the next day he's leaving after one game :lol:

Also was looking through the BSP fixtures and noticed on the last day of the season, Darlington vs K*ttering, I wonder what the odds of that taking place are :roll:

Surprised it took him so long really :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Very quiet here today. I see the Ploppy fans plan to hold a protest of sorts next Saturday. Be interesting to see what form of protest they decide on. They are having a vote at the moment and so far it is heavily in favour of the protest.

I really can't see what a protest is going to achieve. I can totally understand the feeling of wanting to do something and not to sit back and take whatever is going to happen but the powers who be have no interest on the fans at all so what will he care if nobody enters the ground till 3.15? They have already paid the entrance fee with season tickets!!! So there i see no reason in going with the boycott idea.

If anyone was going to boycott it would have been done by now and too many fans only read what is in the E.T.

I certainly like the idea of 1000's of black ballons but seriously, if they have 1000 home fans how many will really take part?

Big protest outside? Firstly the chairman will prob be long gone and how many fans are really going to stay after to protest. I doubt the numbers will be big enough.

The idea about turning your back on the game and being silent for 15mins is great but for maximum effect you need the terrace to be full and the crowd together or it will just look a bit odd.

Maybe they would be better off all getting into the stand, right in front of boardroom, signing chants at the pitch to encourage the players, followed by turning and chanting to the boardroom some protest songs, then back to the pitch for chants to the players.

Good to see Mark Stimson in The Peterborough Changing room. Hope he gets some role there@ Championship level. He was simply a Victim from the Circus of false Prentice's & lies at the place I'm currently Employed by. I am now Legally Owed & entitled to £3,150 in wages & Relocation. I've got a little girl to provide for, bills to pay the list is endless. To think I Tore my ACL knee Cruciate playing for this club makes me sick. Breaches in contract the lads are suffering from is crazy. How does the chairman expect the Transfer Embargo to ever be lifted if you don't Pay the Players what's in their contracts in black & white which the Conference have? (Not gonna happen (rolls eyes) )

I was so optimistic with K*ttering start of the season. Obviously my knee injury dampend my whole season but I was still looking foward to at least seeing the boyz push on and go for a playoff place at least. From day 1 when we walked into that 1st game against newport county and I had a match shirt XXXXXL & I'm the smallest player in the team I knew something weren't right. Not to mention not even a club tracksuit. I've had to contact the PFA now to get proper treatment and rehab for my knee as the club don't even have the money for facilities to help me recover so ill have to go live up at lilleshall in stoke to get back fit. I'm 4 months into rehab now its goin well been doin my own stuff in the gym and lots of swimming which has been key but to fully recover I have no other option than to ask the pfa to send me to lilleshall. What I just can't get my head round what so ever is if he couldn't afford given the contracts out why offer em in the 1st place? I'm just fed up now mate been quiet for too long. But when ur taking food out of my new born babys mouth a time comes when enough is enough and u just wanna know WTF is going on. Its scandalous to be honest. Deeper than even us as players its the fans who I feel for. The thought of there club they love as its the area their from could basically be on its way out its mad. I just pray some sort of positive news comes out of this by this week in terms of a takeover of some sort. I understand yh I suffered an injury. Footballers sign contracts to warrant things like that happening. There's always a chance when u run out on that field that u could be hurt badly which is what contracts help to provide an individual in worse case scenarios. Doesn't mean oh his injured now he don't get paid. We finally got the rest of septembers wages n novembers wages paid at silly times and in instalments of £333 every week or so. But now we don't have Decembers wages or relocation fees that may I add are TAX FREE yet some of the boys haven't even had that. Crazy crazy stuff.

The K*ttering players aren't in for training until Thursday as I understand it. Seems a bit odd that a supposedly full-time team is operating part-time, even in the current situation.

I noticed one of the posts on Poppynet suggested that the ET should stay impartial in this situation. Surely the ET aren't going to sit by whilst another one of their main clubs just dies? I know they couldn't have done anything to save us but their coverage was as basic as possible. Considering their sales must be plummeting year on year surely sport is one of the main pulls for readers? They'll be left to report on the Saints, the Wobblers and Corby and the two Northampton clubs get better coverage in the Chronicle and Echo anyway.

ET says this morning that there are £1.3 million debts and that even the new investors are saying that there would have to be an insolvency agreeement before they could takeover which would mean starting again in either the BSN or the SLP. They reckon football could be sustainable still at this level with crowds of 800.
