Yeah their situation is much worse than even ours was. I think the Conference North might be the least of their worries over the next 12 months.

I've said this for a long time. Yes, John left us in a state but John never took BP for himself. Holding out for his £1.5m debt and £1m shareholding back was bad and is a lot of money but he destroyed Gainsborough before destroying Scunny.

Had a beer in Lincoln on Tuesday and we got chatting to the Landlord/owner of The Treaty of Commerce.
Think he said was either a season ticket or regular at Gainsborough and was glad to see the back.

The really crazy thing is that he had Hurst and MacAtee at the club. If he had given Hurst the support which Jason has, the Scunts would now have a pretty good team on their books. Certainly better than what they have now, and most likely would have avoided relegation last season.

Ok, so this is all with the benefit of hindsight, but from where I am standing it looks like he didn’t give Hurst the time and money to dig them out of a pretty deep hole.

There seems to be a continual cycle of appointing a new manager, significantly reducing their budget and then sacking them for failure.

This proof of funds stuff though, these people have passes the 'Fit And Proper Persons Test' but who do they need to prove funds to? If it's Peter Swann, what right does he have to scrutinise peoples finances when he has singlehandedly ruined two local football clubs, leaving his latest one without any assets because it gives him some leverage over the £11m he's lost?

Makes you wonder how much he is asking for. Nothing like £11 million surely? After all, Our owners effectively paid £2.5 million for what is clearly a bigger club.
