[Narcissist]

Guttted for the fans, and for the players and club officials.

I'm not. The fans enjoy the ride, players don't give a toss and the club officials cause it. And that's in general rather than Histon specifically. It's a natural end (although I think this is a bit of a myth actually) rather than somewhere where people have genuinely been scrwed over.

Personally, I don't give a sh*t about Histon or clubs that find themselves in this position.

Actually, that's a bit harsh I do feel a slight pang of concern I just think I disagree with the automatic response that we all feel for the fans of the club etc and oothers. It's bollocks.

Its not bollocks on my part thanks. Im genuinely gutted for them.

If you support the club or work for it, be it as a player or secretary whatever, its not your doing when some deluded tit comes along with a 5 year plan for greatness and then gets bored and scared because the price of petrol has doubled, or because they forget that the plan has to be renewed. We could make a long list of clubs who await the same conclusion in the near future, fortunately we wont be on it and I celebrate that fact.

I feel for the 600 it must be awful losing your team

Do you think these clubs will learn from their mistakes and stop spending more than they can afford.

How many clubs will have to crash out of business because they've overspent and not been sensible about money before the people in charge (The league/the FA etc) actually do something about it? 

It's so bad for football and it's got to the stage where it's beyond ridiculous

I'm so glad we have sensible people in charge of our club - it's better to see us struggling but trying hard and surviving whilst living within our means than seeing us  right at the top but knowing that the money will run out

To be honest I think the clubs need to take responsibility. I'm glad that clubs are left to run themselves as they see fit. If they don't control spending then they'll go bust/get a points deduction/get thrown out of the league. That's the way it should be and that's why our board should be commended, we've been run correctly and as a result remain not only in existence but in the top tier of non-league football.

I do agree that clubs shouldn't be interfered with, it just seems to have got so out of hand, it seems like there's another club in trouble every week.  Surely at some point people will see sense!

Nah, they'll come crawling back to Cambridge.

Yep. And we'd all be supporting Vics if Alty had gone under!  I think NOT.
