I see they are in talks with Weymouths star striker, apparently the lure of full time football and the facilities are the attaction. Is this another chairman signing players alla Sadact or is the new manager (ex Weymouth) in the background??

That's quite a charge sheet! I'm intrigued by the first one - "Three breaches of FA Rule E3 – Misconduct relating to his conduct during the investigation of the alleged breaches of the Betting rules " - which suggests this investigation has been going on for some time. If anything is proven here surely that might mean the "fit and proper person" test that seems toothless might finally be brought into play.

I wonder how long it will be before we see his wife taking control of the Poppies?

Man, how on earth have the Poppies actually turned into a real life soap opera? :lol:

It gets better and better, its brilliant; the footballing gods must be pissing themselves :lol:

Having looked on PoppyNet though it would appear the charges are the straw which broke the camels back; looks like the fans are finally waking up to the fact Rolls is trouble :lol:

I see their "official" Facebook shop has also run into trouble - "... Today we find ourselves facing a large shortfall after being dealt with poorly by individuals running the club. We have tried many things in order to have these sums paid and the fans receive their items. ALL have failed. ..."

The club has responded to this statement, which came from those Digidecor people, by stating "Digidecor has not passed on any funds to the club as yet for season ticket sales, we are told this is due to the period in which people can claim refunds..."

Fair play over 3,000 breaches must take some doing. :lol:

That Weymouth player would be mental to take K*ttering's offer. Why would you trust RoLOLs telling you about a full-time contract, you know it'll never be paid and that guy must've experienced Rolls at Weymouth. Hilarious.

Not sure why they're saying "RIP" etc. on Pravdanet though, the Southern League aren't going to kick them out because of RoLOLs betting scandals.

I've mentioned this before but taking credit card payments on behalf of a third party is a major no no and its against the T&C's of any UK Merchant Bank, I would be surprised if anybody who did buy a season ticket would be protected.

I would suggest that Rolls defence may be alone the lines of 'nothing to do with me because they were all in my wife's name'. :D
