I can remember reading in late 2022 that the club's future was in doubt before the takeover happened.
The only mention of this that I can recall was made by the new management team! But then , to misquote Mandy Rice-Davies, "they would say that, wouldn't they?"

Re: Podcast with Stefano

I agree that the owners have made massive strides with the club since their takeover but why do they still find the need to disparage the state of the club beforehand. For example, to tell the Daily Mail that attendances have increased from 400 to 1,300 is simply not true. They have, in fact, increa...

Re: Chelmsford home on Saturday.

This game might well indicate where we are in this league in relation to playoff credentials. We have a lot of home games to play points from these is vital. Assuming that only Cheadle and Thomas are out, then Mel has plenty of options in team selection . There was no mention of Donaldson in Chris'...

Certainly no room for complacency. As well as the drubbing of Dorking, they’ve won away at 2 high-flying National North sides, 4-2 at Alfreton and 2-0 at Curzon Ashton.

One save, one miss.
