I lived there for a bit. Shysters. The town needs a club to raise its spirits, because it is a crumbling shit hole run by tin pot morons. How I ever cycled home over the pot holes without going arse over tit into traffic (no cycle lane on the main drag) is a testament to my Boardmantastic . . . . luck.

Simple. Nationalise the club, with no compensation to the owners. Then make it over to the fans. They're never going to make the top flight again - it only ever lasted for one season when they did - but they could have a nice little community club, hovering around the League 2 level, and giving joy to its followers.

So you are proposing what, the public sector take it over (including all of its debts) repay the debts, and then give the club away for nothing? meaning that the taxpayers have to fund those debt repayments? and money that could have or would have been used on providing more relevant public services is no longer available because it was wasted on this?

I'm amazed you got home without having the bike pinched.
