Seems very reasonable if as reported their debt to HMRC remains unpaid and they are still subject to a winding up order. It should have been a very short discussion.

If and when the new owners settle that and other debts the situation should change.

Slough have introduced a form of ID verification for fans. "Supporters aged 14–21 will require an IDentiSurge account to attend matches. Away supporters aged 14-21 will also require an IDentiSurge account to access Arbour Park, with one-day passes available for £1.99." Pretty pathetic from my point of view and makes non league even less accessible to young fans.

So, if I have this right, they are demanding that Adults aged between 18 and 21 have to provide additional identification (at an extra cost), and that away fans have to add this charge to the cost of a ticket. Slough may be 'pleased to announce' I doubt if many neutrals or visiting supporters will share their pleasure.

Is there any known reason for this? Youngsters causing trouble at games for instance?

How ridiculous of them. They really don't seem to have thought this through properly at all. I hope anyone under 21 boycotts the away game. Unless they are actively trying to discourage younger away supporters from going there?

It shouldn't take much to discourage people from going to Slough. The best part about Slough away is Windsor!

I see that Rohan Ince is a shareholder in IDENTISURGE the company who provides the facility together with a number of other footballers. There is a growing problem at non league with youngsters causing trouble so I expect that a number of clubs will look at this as a means of exerting some degree on control.
