Sorry for all these doom and gloom threads.... Makes me happy that Fitton played things safe really..

Chester's Chairman is looking to sell and fuck off. Just been relegated to the conference, crowds dropped really fast this season in L2? Have a feeling they will be playing in the Blue Square North and become the next "Boston"

They've been in a mess for a while now and I think Liverpool reserve games kept them for a few years.

Chester have gone into Administration Today! Next Boston United I think..... as mentioned before . Start next season with a points deduction or start in the Blue Square North

Its going to get worse too, there are a lot of smaller clubs on the verge of extinction/administration, sad days, and it does make me more grateful for Mr Fitton and Co saving us.

It wasn't long ago when Fitton said many clubs will go into adiminstration. The number he mentioned escapes me but I remember thinking it was too many - now, it's looking more and more accurate.

Darlington released all of their players this weekend and Stockport continue to struggle.

Think he said about 15.

I agree with a number of posters on here already - we really need to recognise the job that Mr Fitton is doing at this club - what is happening at Darlington, Chester and Stockport could quite easily have been us.  When you read, mostly on thisis, posters being heavily critical of the current chairman and board I do wonder what planet they are living on.

To be fair, I think that any criticism has passed now we have successfully avoided relegation.

The board can start afresh after the Malpas disaster.

If we had been relegated then they would have taken some flak, and rightly so.

I strongly suspect there's several more clubs who are only just staving off administration and who if they last till after Christmas may well end up wishing they'd taken it now - bleak though it looks for those who're going into admin this summer, I reckon in a year's time they'll look like the ones who got off lightly. I hope I'm wrong, but there's a whole shedload of clubs in the League (and the Prem) who are still in denial about quite how serious their situation really is
