Ploppies new ground

[Formic]

With the risk that KTFC could be wiped out if things aren't sorted regarding the outstanding bills / lease, I do wonder if Mr Jeune has a contingency plan. He states that the investment in Latimer Park is coming out of his own resources, so he'd be risking spending money on the ground only to find KTFC aren't around to play there.

I wonder if he has a backup plan with those behind KFC such that if the situation with KTFC can't be resolved and KTFC gets wound up, he switches his efforts to KFC and gets them playing at Latimer Park in the UCL next season.

The FA claim to be very strict on their "new clubs wishing to enter Step 6 must apply by 31st December" rule, hence by the letter of the law a KFC in the UCL next season would not be possible.

Heard the same thing from BPW on Sat - 400 seats, floodlights and dressing rooms all paid for by the Popppies. Like everyone else not sure how they will finance it other than through donations that are outside of KTFC's official finances and if anyone is prepared to donate that sort of money with such a risky future then good luck to them. Also it seems that the Southern league can't do enough to help them so i'm sure a way will be found for this to happen. It's good for BPW and I think it's the best move available for KTFC at present although their fans would have laughed at the idea 12-18 months ago. A KTFC v KFC derby in a couple years time could be interesting!

Heard the same, so I guess it's the party line. Also told by the same bloke that the Southern League had 'approved' the ground share but listening to RJ's interview yesterday afternoon clearly this is not the case. BPW will be dispensing with their reserve team.
