What baffles me is why no Northwich fans have had a real physical go at him...this annoyed me and I can't stand them...

 MIKE Connett is preparing to empty the Northwich Victoria’s home patch of its contents.

The Guardian visited the Marston’s Arena this afternoon, Thursday, using a public right of way that runs through the nine-acre site.

Gates at the main entrance remain padlocked and chained up.

Boxes were piled floor to ceiling in the former bar, while chairs and other furniture were packed ready for removal.

A team of workers were spotted playing a makeshift game of football on the uncovered pitch.

Rumours of the goalposts, or seats in the main stand, being removed too proved wide of the mark.

Connett, laughing and smiling, could be seen directing operations in the darkness as the stadium remains without mains-supplied electricity.

A stand-alone generator that had been providing power for the past three months has also gone.

There was no sign of a removals van seen parked outside the reception since the start of the week.

An inspector from Cheshire Trading Standards is expected to issue a second prohibition notice in as many months later today, Thursday, following an inspection this morning.

He is likely to report that the ground is not fit to host spectators, leaving Vics with no choice but to switch their scheduled Blue Square Premier clash with Histon to the home of rivals Altrincham.

There appears little chance club officials will be allowed access to the ground before then.

Beaconet was stripped of its main asset – the ground – in October owing more than £1m in charges to another lender.

Finance specialists Deloitte Touche were called in as receivers under the terms of the Land and Property Act (1925) to sell the land to the highest bidder, although they appear reluctant to intervene in the latest dispute between Connett and Vics.

The Guardian has contacted them but is still awaiting a response.

im suprised there has been no formal protest and inteviews on north west tonight  etc. Come on V*cs all rivalry and banter aside we all know you care about your club and you do have a history to be proud of (bar the last few years) don't let it end without a fight

[Jezza]

What astonishes me is that surely if there are invoices for these goods made out to beaconet then surely Mr Connett has no legal right to them as they now surely come under the ownership of deloite touche?
In other words a company director has no legal right of ownership of goods that are in the company name?
Or did the walrus personally purchase the generator in his name?

Is there any truth in the rumour that Jim Rushe and Steve King have already offered all of these workers two year full-time contracts?

No, they're too local.

Couldn't agree more. I was outraged when I saw this

What a complete C**t. (appropriate for once)

Ballers or Connett?

[matnvfcmad]

MIKE CONNETT WHAT A WANKER WHAT A WANKER!

[crossie]

Just a question to the Vic's fan, did you as supporters not stand together and try get this criminal out before it was too late? If some tosser like that had taken over our club, and started being a real knock off Nigel im sure we would have expressed our views through the local media somehow!

[andrewflynn]

prick.

Ballers or Connett?

connett obviously.
