Surely the Poppies fans that remain loyal need to dig deep to try to preserve their "history"? !

When you see things like that you appreciate even more the efforts of all of those AFC R&D volunteers, far too numerous to mention, who give so much of their time to raise funds for AFC R&D, whether it's via events, raffles, getting commercial partners, getting match sponsors, running the club shop etc etc, to make sure we have a community run club that operates within its means. Thats before you even mention the voluntary efforts of all of those who run the club on a day-to-day basis, sort things out at the D&D, run things on a matchday etc etc - not forgetting the players and management team, many of whom who could get better financial rewards elsewhere, or perform at a higher level, but who choose AFC R&D.

It makes you wonder how these 'volunteers' keeping the playing side going at present are dealing with matters such as VAT on monies collected because it cannot be divorced from other responsibilities of K*ttering Town Management Ltd?

Southern League have confirmed today that KTFC can play the rest of their home fixtures at Steel Park.

Trust that this will leave KC in the do do.

Surely he'd then simply file for KTFC to be wound up for breach of contract?

I can't understand how they can keep walking out on contracts and not paying people?! :?
