Heard a rumour that the Council told the club that the roof in the Arkells stand needed emergency work this summer, £250k. Anybody else heard that and whether that affected the ability to afford players?
If so, why not tell us? This is the sort of thing that the Trust should be telling us about as 'normal business.' There is a County Ground Community Fund that people are paying into. What is happening to that money?

Also - if true why not come out and say this? Surely fans will understand if the Arkells roof requires work and requires money on it? Why try and hide it? (if true)

Very concerning and can only hope common sense prevails and this lot leave with a small comfort of respect. A takeover happens and we can move on once more in our history. Two major concerns the selling price and who actually owns what and what will they want out of any potential sale. Getting to the point now where I can see Clem wanting out but who else will have a say?
Only hope that we don’t get points deductions. Immediate concerns are whether bills are being paid, hearing all sorts but the rumour mill is bursting.
It’s going to be a bumpy ride though.
Points deduction is the Kraken beneath the surface here. Couple that with the owner(s) pulling the plug and we can all start planning our away day to Wealdstone.

What part of the shenanigans could potentially lead to points deductions DOB out of interest?

Not paying players on time I think comes with a suspended points deduction so two months without it being on time

The non-disclosure of persons of significant control and share transfers is also possibly punishable by ponts deduction. If so, again I'd imagine it will be suspended.

wasn't it common knowledge that the safety certificate threw up some requirements to spend cash on the ground or did I imagine that, can't see under any other proviso the Council would have the resource or inclination to inspect and then say 'x' needs doing?

Will be interesting to see if the Bank is open for Wrexham on Boxing Day, wouldn’t be surprised if that’s been secretly condemned and it’s just not publicised. Seemed odd Aldershot weren’t offered it on Saturday after selling their Arkell’s allocation as they are entitled to 15% of the ground.

https://www.efl.com/news/2021/september/efl-statement-swindon-town/• A suspended three points deduction to be immediately activated in the event that the Club breaches Regulation 63.7 on or before 30 June 2022. Now lapsed by the look of it.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

I can't believe people are convincing themselves that Sutton have a bigger wage bill than us because they are paying London weighted wages!
The point is that with our revenue vs their revenue we should be outspending them, end of story.
No one is ‘convincing themselves’ people are just pondering the hypothetical possibility that location may effect wages. What’s our revenue like compared with Suttons?
