I read something yesterday on the EFL site about appropriate separation or stewarding of fans (and of course I can't find it today).
Hospitality has dedicated stewarding so would tick that box, random seats around the DRS is a different matter IMO and I don't know why the club would take the risk

To (poorly) quote Price of Football's Kieran Maguire, if a business decision doesn't make sense, the answer is often 'money'.

Who had ‘Roman Abramovich used Swindon Town to launder payments’ on their bingo card

Article mentions point deduction or a fine, it's probably more directed at Chelsea, but wouldn't be surprised to see either coming our way as well, no doubt we'll get the brunt of any punishment

If we make it out of the goings on of the last 8/9 years without a points deduction then it is actually a miracle.

Of course we will get done, it was an undeclared loan to benefit the club

Absolutely, you can absolutely see why we'd get punished for it, certainly not going to help us with the Standing Vs Power future punishment as well.if only we had the cushion of being in league one

Well, not quite. The loan was to Power, the individual, Power then, supposedly, put the money into the club. Might just as easily gone into his back pocket - it’s not going to be accounted for.

Wonder if those 3 Chelsea loan players has anything to do with it.

Why on earth would they get thrown down a flight of stairs? These are the middle sections of the DRS, frequented mainly by middle aged season ticket holders. Stop being so dramatic, seats aren't being sold in the TE and we arent living in the 1980's. If there are Wrexham leaning tourists around me then great, let them enjoy their day. I am sure if they are forking out the money they are, then they are likely to be sensible enough to be respectful of where they are located in the ground. We do love to over react.

You've never seen it kick off in the DRS or even The Arkells when away fans are in there?

Come on.

The condiition was the money went to the club. He obviously put it in to the club as he is still alive

I would assume that like when Barry & Standing lent Power money which was a ''no no'' as both were still involved in the game this will be a similar thing....or a bigger ''NO NO''.

The bit I don't quite get is the fact that it was a loan, which was repayable if we got promoted, but as we didn't it lapsed (not much of a loan then).   

When some claimed we didn't want to get promoted, maybe they were right, albeit not directly for the reason they thought

Quite!

The bit I find interesting, if that’s the word, is if we failed to get promoted ( which we didn’t obviously) the loan didn’t need to get repaid. So it was in Power’s interests we didn’t get promoted - the Tim Sherwood era too.
