They could always find a non-league team to bully out of their ground and then buy.

What's the story here?

Was going to say, this is more about the Chelsea involvement rather than AFC Wimbledon's. Plus the Kingstonian Chairman is hardly a saint. I think the Dons did pretty much as much as they could. It can easily be made to look like they didn't though.

Haha, the bit of the “fairytale” always conveniently forgotten

Cheesy

Why dont they just ground share with Franchise. Win win for everyone.

Macclesfield v Crewe called off tomorrow - Macclesfield players’ strike given as the reason.
Unless something happens on the takeover soon I can see them going the way of Bury, and probably before the end of this season.

(haven't read recent post so apologies if it's a repeated question)


...if Macclesfield disappeared then I guess we'd 'lose' our points against them?

Yep, that's the usual outcome, in so far as this has happened very few times in the past.

Yes and so would the other 13 teams that have either won or drawn against them.

If Macclesfield did go bust and the results expunged then we would sit in 3rd place in the table behind FGR and Crewe who have yet to play them.

In the top 9 places Swindon, Exeter and Cheltenham would be 3 points worse off each, Bradford 1 point and Northampon 0 as they lost to them. Plymouth and Port Vale have also yet to play them.

yep, they did and lost 2-3 to them in the FLT.   Not looking good,  apparently Sol Campbell still owed 180k in wages.

Mass protests expected at Oldham today vs Orient by Oldham fans.

The club have said they are in financial problems again and the HMRC are knocking at the door for unpaid tax. The club say thats partly due to only having 1 home game in the month of November.

Not looking great for the Latics, again, another club that seem to go from crisis to crisis.
