Yeah, they've been posting RIP KTFC on various thread for the past 6 months at least and yet they're still here and looks like for a while longer as well!

Very interesting observation from a Weymouth fan.

At Weymouth we were lucky that we had a number of active supporters groups which ensured that most of the facts, and scandals, were kept in the public domain, which went some way towards ensuring a happy outcome.

What I have to say, just from reading your forum, is that your supporters representatives do not seem particularly communicative to supporters about what is going on behind the scenes. I realise this remark will probably get me banned from your forum, but it is constructively meant.
I have thought the same and this mirrors the same level of communication that RDFC rank and file fans received from the RDFC Trust in the period leading up to KC taking over our old club. :twisted:

Looking ominous whether they'll start the season now. Looks like Jordan Patrick (ex-CUFC) played an hour for Cambs City in a friendly yesterday.

Any body heard anything else?

Not capitalising the word 'Poppies', no apostrophe after "Terras", space between Byerley and the full stop, 'Season' randomly capitalised. Maybe I'm from the Red Dragon school for this kind of thing but come on! :lol:

Of course they'll start the season. They'll rope together a squad if things turn bad, which I doubt they will (but you never know!).

They've now announced a patron's draw of the same style as Cousins' shirt sponsorship raffle - with the first prize of putting your logo on the shirt, second prize naming the North Stand - £500 quid a time.

They do seem overly optimistic as they are offering 5 prizes, so think they'll get at least 5 entries!

You may recall that the failure of his raffle was listed by Cousins as the catalyst for bringing in the Beasants.

I bet all tickets will be bought by a company owned by George Rolls. :D

It would be just their luck for the administrators "Carter Clark" to enter the raffle (like they did with Diamonds) - and win !

I do wonder what might happen if the person who wins the second prize - to name the north stand - decides they want to call it the Duane Darby Stand. :lol: :lol:

Mind you the legendary Poppyinfo seems to indicate they have only one patron - hence the "patron's draw"
