Ilkeston town were wound up in the high court this morning.bsn back to 21 teams again! they were shut down over a fairly modest £55k tax debt,looks like the hmrc are finally getting tough!!!!!

[casper]

Yep, the HMRC are finally getting their act together with these clubs. Though, yet to see them take on a bigger club other than these "easy" targets.

Looks like Ilkeston arent too happy, as they (like them all) say they were close to securing a deal to pay the debt back. Unsuprisingly, they are appealing the decision.

Hopefully, more teams will take note, and stop spending so much money on silly ambitions.

If they don't win their appeal, does anyone reckon Chukki Eribenne might be worth a punt (if the funds were there, etc.)?

I was in Cambridge last night and the pleasure of reading the Cambridge paper this morning.

There was an amusing story about Histon being in the sh*t with the council because they hired some "travellers" to clear some area behind the ground. Turning a blind eye to the fact that 14 of the trees were protected.

Their fine could be £20K, the chairman said he would only be able to pay it at 1p a week!

Perhaps when they get a new man at the ELM they'll CONKER their problems and stop making an ASH of things. To be FIR I think many of their older fans PINE for a return to lower grade football. They just seem to LARCH from one crisis to another. I'll take my BOUGH and LEAF now.

Genius

You didnt mention the fact that they WILLOW the taxman a lot of cash, and he's likely to take a FERN stance on the repayment. Someone needs to get to the ROOT of this!

All these puns are enough to drive you to drink. I'm off for a vodka and tonic with a slice of LIME.
