Conference members are to discuss the possibility of Rangers starting life in the Conference national, rather than play in Scotland.

Though the question of promotion / relegation would have to be looked at, and whether the Conference would increase the number of teams, or have a north v south playoff final for 1 season, whilst keeping the four relegation spots.

Tamworth have appointed Kettering's Law as their new manager.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tamworth/9496197.stm


Kettering are rumoured to appoint LADAK as interim boss, in their quest to remain in the Conference. Kettering are still mulling over whether the merge with Rushden & Diamonds. And are still searching for a new ground.

Right, were still in it till saturday. The remaining games are:

Alty v Eastbourne; Alty need to win
FGR v Tamwuff; draw means both cannot be caught by alty
Kettering v Southport; Kettering need to win

If FGR, Tampax and Southport all draw, Alty will need to win by 20 clear goals to stay up..

we need two of FGR, Tammy and southport to lose (and us to win) in order to stay up.

Its bloody possible!!!

C'mon lads, just one more game to go.

Hewson has been released. He made 14+ 9 appearances for Alty.

Showed some skill, but really struggled fitness wise. Shame really, as when he did play he looked like a decent attacking option.

Thanks for the effort.

They are a bit screwed financially, but they don't seem to be even aware of any impending disaster.

Official statement from Histon:
Histon Football Club Ltd has been made aware of the appearance of the Company on the Companies Court Winding Up List for Wednesday 27th October published here.

The Directors and Officials would like to state categorically that the Club has received no notification of winding up proceedings and consequently that the reason for the Company to appear on this list is unknown. Nothing further can be done until the Court office opens at 9am tomorrow morning, which is the first opportunity the Club will have to determine the source of the action, if any. A further statement will be issued tomorrow, Wednesday, when more is known.

Club Chairman Russell Hands said: "This has come totally and utterly out of the blue, but I'm actually getting used to that now. In my three months in the job, each time we get over one hill, the next one seems to be a little bit taller."

"We will deal with this latest issue just like all the others, we will work something out, there's no doubt about that."

From main site:
"Last season Stalybridge Celtic's average home gate was 472 but they are following the AFC Wimbledon model of going full-time on a smallish budget, with an emphasis on youth. It can also be confirmed that Celtic intend to become a full time club in July, although it is important to put this in context. Sadly, we will never be able to financially compete with the big spenders in our league and we need to look to a different way of trying to achieve promotion. As a result of the current environment, and despite the fact that we are going full-time, Jim's budget will actually be slightly lower than the one Steve Burr started last season with so if we cannot buy our way out of this league we need to be more creative in how we face the challenges ahead.

Consequently we have made the decision to go forward with a focus much more based on youth, a policy that is sure to find favour with the club’s supporters."

On an average of 472?!?? Are there no limits to this lunacy??? Wot will happen to Oneill, peyton and the rest of our old boys?

From our lovely informative main site:

Chris Senior has written the following Open Letter to Altrincham FC.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank every single person connected with Altrincham F.C for their fantastic support over the past three and a half seasons.

My decision to leave was not an easy one and the phone call to Graham to explain my decision was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. The club is managed fantastically and I support the board with their stance on how they run a football club.

The chance for me to return to full time football was too good an opportunity for me to turn down and I hope that my decision is understood and respected.

I made some great friends at Alty, not just players but supporters, and I plan to return to Moss Lane as many times as possible to watch. Hopefully when I return as a player you'll give me the awful reception I expect you to give to every opposing player next year!

Good luck for 2010/11, except for when we meet, and keep up the great support of the boys!

Chris"

Thanks chris. Hope you have a good season, but miss a load of sitters against us. Top bloke, shame he's gone. But i'm still looking forward to another season in the BSBP
