Hi guys,although i live in Holland i always look out for the results of your club not to have a laugh but my team Sparta were on the brink of going out of business a couple of seasons ago.Ok we survived(still massive debts)but at least i can watch my beloved team.Even if the plans of your chairman will go ahead isn't possible to form a new ESFC like Wimbledon has done and start all over in non-league football?I hope for a good outcome for your club but it's the same all over the world the board only thinks in banknotes.I wish you all the best in your aim to keep a great old club alive.Derek

Thanks, Derek. Always nice to know someone cares, glad to hear your team survived, hope ours can too. The trouble with "doing a Wimbledon", is nobody in the new home town cares about the club as they haven't experienced the traditions, emotion and history of being involved; and nobody from the original home will travel amount of miles because the traditions etc have been destroyed in the move and they'd effectively be following a completely different team. Just check out "Wimbledon's" home crowds to see what I mean.
