  Typical Trust busybodies...stir up some shit when none exists, claiming to represent the fans...they've about 300 members.

 The TIU forum seems to  consist of  accountants and journos, and mongs that feckless, they make thisis look like University Challenge.

 Therefore I would take Gazzza's mate's rumour witha pinch of salt.

Yeah I just had a bit of a snoop and it looks like Firoz's stadium company gets a healthy turnover. Still makes losses though. Probably doesn't care.

Would never want any club to face winding-up. 

There's one 'club' that's an exception to that in my view.

Wouldn't wish Oxford to go bust though, if only because it means that the last game between us was the Cup match a couple of years ago  Angry The thought that there may not be a chance to play them ever again and get revenge is not a happy one.

I think the crux of it is that they are loosing £500k a year, and their old mate Kassam charges them £400k a year for the stadium.

Somehow they are commited to a 25 year lease on the Kassam, so they cant even leave and go and play somewhere else.

They have 3,000 season ticket holders, so if they do start dipping below 3,500 on a matchday I think you can assume they are heading up shit creak.
