You'd willingly walk into NP to see 'KTFC' in the seats and no PDB? Really?!

Make you wonder what happened to other stuff such as trophies won by RDFC for the Conference and Division 3 etc. :shock:

.... well given the Poppies have never won a National League title in all their dismal history perhaps they use them to attempt to motivate their team ...

apparently I think you will find a large amount of RDFC stuff has been skipped........ It's been mentioned on here before. Not aware of the trophies though.
Still Say that Van Der Veldan had the most amazing ball control of any player at our club.

I find it strange also that more people on here are not asking questions about this issue. I've mentioned several times on this forum, my knowledge of large amounts of RDFC related stuff being skipped at NP to make way for Kettrin moving in. Pictures, programmes, plaques, signage, merchandise: all skipped. And whilst I also know who sanctioned this, I could never prove it so I'll have to keep it under my hat for the time being, suffice to say, you'd be suprised.

This alone for me would be enough to say no to a ground share, even without the KC issues. Kettrin tried to obliterate all trace of R&D from NP and erase our history, anything they deemed useful, such as training kits they used, all else was land-fill.

I have the back page of the ET from the office a few months ago which showed them training in our kit. Which I thought is surely not their property?

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.

That would be my killer, unless they put RDFC, or even nothing back on the seats and renamed it the PDB, no chance.

With KC locking the ground and preventing the Beasants entry who knows what RDFC stuff was retained by the landlord? :shock:
I suppose it depends on how good the administrator performed his duties but as I posted on another thread I wonder what happened to the replica trophies etc that the club had when they won the various titles. I would like to think they have been retained for safekeeping.
Personally I'm not worried about second hand training kit.

As I keep telling you, expect to find it all in a landfill site somewhere. Anything that was deemed to be of no use, ie: training kits etc, have been eradicated.

Whilst I'm not sure about all of the stuff, I know that trophies and some photos are secure and being looked after. There were loads of old photos in a storage area near the shop but unsure about these or other photos and memoriablia that was up around the club. Will update you when I can find out some more info.
