Chester City facing threat of closure
Chester City face the prospect of not being allowed to start the new season after having their licence application refused by the Football Association. City went into administration in May, following their second demotion from the Football League in nine years. The Blue Square Premier club were then bought back by their former chairman Stephen Vaughan. But BBC Sport understands that the FA has concerns over the set-up of Vaughan's new company. The FA's governance department has been in touch with the club to advise that they they are not currently an affiliated club, which means means they are unable to fulfil their arranged friendlies for this summer.

Ive just noticed that my 1701 posts came at an average of 1.701 per day. This must mean the site has just passed 1000 days in its current format!

To those impressive technocrats who set this forum up and who moderate it: Thanks - you've made a (not so very) old man very happy! 

And on behalf of all you other Alty nuts out there, I'd like to send a vote of thanks to those who have made it possible for us to feed our habit on here.

Hi All,

Lasted over a week on my holidays before needing my fix from this place - that must be a new record 

Actually, that's not strictly true - Ive only just found the internet place and they're charging 5 euros per half hour so I won't be on here much next week either as that equates to a couple of litres of Mythos.

Just to say it's great to see the backbone of next season's side now in place and, with a couple of astute signings on the part of GH over the next three or four weeks, we should be set fair for another good year in the BSP.

So, all in all, a pretty pointless post from myself and Mrs S then.

Tatta for now and back to the pool with all the other drunken pensioners!




Come on you Supers

Six go, leaving Vics short on numbers

HALF a dozen players have asked to follow Steve King out of the exit door at the Marston’s Arena. The six – Jay Conroy, Dean Lodge, Dean McDonald, Owen Price, Steve Robinson and Stuart Robinson – are all likely to have their wish granted. None will face Kettering tomorrow, Tuesday.
Steve Robinson and Lodge are under contract, leaving them to negotiate their impending departures with owner Jim Rushe.
Rushe, who doubles up as manager of Cheshire League Division One title chasers Woodley, is likely to be on the bench for the visit of the Poppies. *






+Assume that means he will be managing the side?

Wonder if he and his moneyed relation will take over ailing Weymouth whose team have put the club on 14 days notice to either pay them or release them?

For a month according to Brewersnet

I thought this was quite funny. Taken from the FGR forum ...


" I'm beginning to think Kids Go Free is a curse. It is, after all, an anagram of I see FGR KO'd."   

There's a rumour going on Confguide that with major sponsors having pulled out, the players are being made to take a 50% wage cut. Anyone else come across this or know any more about it?
