Have a read of their facebook 'interaction' (I love a good use of quote marks too) with one of the consortium members. Fills me with confidence about the direction our club is taking :roll:.

At the risk of setting off the PFs, are we still due in court tomorrow? And, if so, is it possible that we could be in administration by the end of the day or does it take longer?

Not since we discovered the earth is flat. The PF's have now all gone off to worry about boat trips...

All us PFs have gathered together in a big sticky mess. Currently we have spun a web of la-la-la-dom around us of a consistecy remarkably like candyfloss and are busily licking the comforting floss off.
We might emerge like moths from a larval cocoon on Monday night.

Seems we're not the only local team having a bit of bother. Understand this was about £156k to HMRC - which they've now paid.

No panic here. I think we'll get more time so long as we have a reasonable and credible plan. And I assume we have otherwise that would be a major, major, major feck up.

Given most of the last decade has seen major fcuk up after major fcuk up I'm not convinced a major fcuk up is no in the offing...

Adjourned till 22nd Feb.

Adjourned on basis of land sale, player sale and potential sale of the whole club.

HMRC weren't satisfied with plan or likelihood of sale and therefore still requested petition remain.

Thankfully court granted adjournment.

EDIT: Those who witnessed proceedings suggest a significant number of player sales are crucial.

Basically we are flogging stuff to make the club more affordable for prospective buyers. Makes sense, I just wish they'd get on with it then we can get a new manager in and have a crack at pulling off a survival miracle.
