Utter joke, its a farce now.

They should've been kicked out the league today.

Its gone past rivalry, its a moral issue now.

It will be interesting to see if the KTFC fanbase does make an attempt to save themselves, like we tried with the Diamonds until it became clear we would need to pay off Cousins inside two seasons in order to stay at Conference level - or are they just prepared to let their history disappear.
To be honest, the vast majority of the ktfc fanbase has had enough, I doubt many will have the energy to put all their efforts into a campaign like ours after all that's gone on, they're as good as dead and the fact there's been barely anymore discussion on there than there has been on here on the situation says it all really.
Indeed - the general concensus on Poppynet seems to be criticism of the Southern League for not kicking them out today! I note they've got a Trust Meeting on Friday that was already scheduled, but it appears that the credible people on the Trust Board have had such abuse from the Fanbase when trying to negotiate a way forwards previously that they are likely to resign.
I'm guessing their Trust would've wanted their fate to be sealed today. It would've allowed them to make the decision on their future (i.e. if they would start supporting KFC) on Friday without any ifs or buts.

Noticed EON were at NP today.

Wonder if they were looking to install a pay as you go meter ;)

I can't add anything to that - it's like no one wanted to take responsibility for a decision.

Looks like it might just be getting better with the mystery investor reported by a former director as a “Mr P”.

I wonder if "Mr P" might be any relation GR’s Lithuanian mate Pranus Preidzius, who had a brief spell as Chairman of Weymouth.

Nah - surely not. Too much comedy value :?

Are they not getting punished for failing to fulfil their fixtures, no docked points?

They've not actually failed to fulfil a fixture yet. Every one of the games have been postponed. If they do pull through then I doubt the SL will give another points deduction, it would be like punching a decaying corpse. Would be ****ing hilarious though!
