Wow. Amazing how quickly they climbed back up to the Championship after that.

Fantastic piece of football writing the whole thing. Wasn't paying much attention in 97/98. This is a new one on me. I'm told a lot of this, the running down of football clubs by unscrupulous owners, often for the land for development, is going on in the lower and non-leagues. Happened at Hereford, now happening at Dulwich Hamlet. Cheers for posting.

I've just finished reading this here. Epic

Right, that’s it. We’re absolutely done with Arsenal fans whining about losing a Cup Final to a really good side like it’s some kind of personal affront.

Yeah, that's where I first saw it too. A bit of perspective.

Blimey! I tried not to laugh but it was so ludicrous. You can't make this stuff up.

Wasn't his scam to bury Belle Vue under several thousand tonnes of hard core, or was that somewhere else?

Just thought of another lower league club that are being coveted/ hassled by property developers (via their own local council) ... Millwall. The loveable lower league team that are in fact above us.

Btw:They Think Its All Rovers A film of the Doncaster farce. Could easily be mistaken for a spoof as someone who appears to be Simon Day from the Fast Show rocks up to manage for a month. Turns out it's Uruguayan journeyman Danny Bergara. After misquoting Churchill, Bergara manages to get a couple of rare draws, confusing the opposition by assigning random shirt numbers to his first XI. Priceless.

That was a great read.

I had forgotten all about Ken Richardson & his fire raising activities. Still, why would the FA have ever considered that cheating at horse racing would mean that he would cheat at football?
