They really are a pathetic outfit. Don't want them to go bust as I won't be able to "enjoy" defending like this:

Do you think a rodent had got onto the pitch and chewed the net away between the linesman checking it and that fourth goal going straight through it?

I know the Flamingo has larger than average front teeth but that is a bit harsh :lol: still it gives him something to do to avoid bench sores :oops:

Very peed off to see a donation from Richard butcher's memorial trust there !! I've donated to that fund, as have other diamonds fans and i certainly didn't do that to see it spent on lining KC's pockets or helping them out of the hole they've dug for themselves - morally wrong for thatbmoney to be used in that way !!

I said when all this blew up that they'd survive, the fools who have believed their sob story will bail them out !! RJ and KC must be rubbing their hands in delight that so many fools are parting with their cash for such a worthless cause !!

Just read some of the comments on there and I now feel sick !! One moron writes "I can't believe one football club could do this to another" - an idiot oblivious to the facts !!! I despair at times !! :roll:

Let's not forget that a similar fundraising effort helped to get our great club off the ground. We know that there are no further nasties to come out of thhe closet whereas even if they get over this hurdle there's still 23.5 years rent on a lease that was signed as well as a CVA to keep on top of!

It's a sensitive subject but frankly i'm disappointed that the Richard Butcher Memorial Fund has given money to such a cause. It's a total waste of money that should have been used in a more appropriate manner.

I was just looking through google, and a year ago K*ttering owed £1.2m to 71 creditors according to the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18351915

I'm sure many of those 71 creditors got absolutely nothing, whereas he who shall not be named is set to benefit to the tune of 70k thanks to a publicity stunt from a twitter page that has seized an opportunity.

It's delaying the inevitable. They're desperate to protect their 140 years of abject failure but it's simply a matter of time.
