this has really f**ked me off. Just think, 1 home games worth of programmes sales at Old trafford would have kept King's Lynn going for the next 5 years. I love the FA, they do F All to help clubs in tough times.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

They have a goalkeeper called ALLY MCANALLY.

No wonder they went bust.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

There are dozens of non league clubs in similar strife.  Most just make it at the last moment due to either a local business saving them or fans fund raising or a fire sale of players.  The HM Customs and Excise have tried to kill a range of clubs and finally nailed Kings Lynn! 
The development of more and more community/fans owned clubs is slowing the yo yo existence of clubs but many are on the brink.....
 
Kings Lynn pushed it a bit over recent seasons to first gain then try to hold Conference North status and have ended a long history....

Where are fifa in all this. isn't the point to be promoting the game and good sportsmanship etc. yet they seem more concerned at making the rich clubs even richer and every one else can sink or swim type attitude.
 
I dont endorse bad financial management but then I do think a club should be allowed to try and improve itself too.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.
