Not exactly the same situation but similar to when Kassam bought some little football club to basically build a stadium that was his & that he’d continue to own once he’d found a buyer for his little football club.
They have one more yearleft on their lease at the Kassam, then will move to a new stadium and then he can sell the land for housing. |

My brother said he spoke to some that work in the legends lounge around the time he came in and I was gushing about how amazing it is to have a town fan on the board, etc. and the feedback was basically he's nice to you if he thinks you're useful to him and rude as fuck if not. Definitely been a front.
Typical narcissistic behaviour |

Just as he did with the Manor Ground. Can’t remember if was turned into housing or whether the John Radcliffe expanded into it. Built a cheapo stadium with 3 sides, charged £800,000 rent. Now rinse and repeat. Clever fucker that Kassam. |

I see we've withdrawn from the Wilts Premier Shield.
Presumably not enough depth to put a team out and/or budget to fulfil the fixtures.

I thought you had to play county cup? Even just stick the youth team out? |

I believe Westbury haven't bothered either this season.
Shame as I quite enjoy these games but iTown have a small senior squad and youths in a cup run then it's probably for the best.

Aren't we taking cup competitions seriously this season? I thought that was the plan... |

Ongoing fixture congestion cited as the reason.
Must be the three cup comps and league games in hand being prioritised.

I realise it's a symptom of a wider malaise etc. etc. and so on, but there are people on FB and Twitter who appear to be genuinely exercised about the Wiltshire Premier Shield.

I think because, like so many things, the comms have been utter guff. Never first with the news and the excuse is risible. |
