Full marks for effort, but sadly you're in the wrong place in my eyes.

Yes, Forest Green did get a vote on it, but that was because they played by the rules unlike your club. You would get a vote on their demise as well, but then they played by the rules as I say so that wont arise.

Cut your cloth accordingly in future. A lesson many clubs could do well to adopt.

Have to agree. Salisbury may be on the rough side of it at the moment but the reason for this is that they spent too much money. Won't be the last to do it but rules are rules.

is it worth getting Sean Clohessy - salisbury defender there got from Gillingham who had some time at Arsenal academy

This cant be the only form they have been on, surely there must be negative views from other surporters.

I'll help make sure justice is done by writing to the Conference to congratulate them on their decision. It's about time clubs who spunked money they don't have were punished.

Seconded, especially as they nearly went bust once before. Learn the lesson this time. Tough. Move along!

 

Bravo!

It's only taken you since August to realise our plight and get your dig in!

F'kin hell, how slow are you?

Cityfan your so brave you coont

Cityfan - there's a big difference in our case and yours.

You say In our hour of need you said bollocks and I don't mind if fans of other clubs say the same to us.

It's up to us (Welling Utd and the fans) to sort this out and as far as I'm aware we've not been begging or relying on other clubs to help us.

Your laughable CityFan. Firstly, I never said anything dereogatory back then - in fact I was sympathetic to your plight at the time, like I am to any club going out of business purely 'cos it's the fans who ultimately suffer (unless it's West Ham).

Like Gary said, we haven't gone begging other clubs - except possibly Charlton who we have strong links with - to save us. Whereas you did having stood by and watched your club chase the pound note of the Football League knowing full well it was unsustainable (I discovered this first hand in a dealing with your club involving filming games and interveiws etc).

Whereas we knew nothing of our plight because of the s**t communication between club and fans. Had we known, we would have pulled together like we have done much, much sooner and probably helped sort it ourselves.

I hope for the sake of all the good, honest Salisbury fans (that's not you CityFan) that you pip Truro to promotion as they, again, are an unustainable club chasing the money.

As the man said, Sod Off!

Just look at how many people on here are against a CVA. We have screwed up, as far as I am aware we have not gone bothering other people (save Braintree, where their Chairman suggested it), partly because certain parts of our own enterprise do not possess the acumen to do it!

If we go bang we will console ourselves and get on with it, you can laugh if you want to, not sure we'd really give a toss. We may not like the embargo but that appears to be League rules so we have got on with it. 

Exactly, them came to us for assistance when we weren't even in their league, and arent local to them either. Nothing but glorified spamming.

We, until Alex went on ConfSouth, haven't begged from other clubs ... only Braintree raised money and that was because they offered.

Hey guys Truro City are a great club get some fairly decent crowds too. Perhaps next season you may meet in the league.  Check out the conference south forum, their posters think your taking the piss

Enjoy Eastleigh on Saturday if the games on that is

The fact of the matter is, Salisbury were in that position because their board spent willy nilly, and no one said 'dont do it'.
We are in our position, not because we've spent too much, we can't afford to. We've been running at a loss for a couple of years and frankly the apathy from local business and football fans hasn't helped our finances. Weve been struggling to live within our means despite trying to. Welling ain't been paying HRMC cos they ain't been able to. If I don't have the money to pay my water bill I ain't going to pay it!
That's why welling fans would tell Salisbury fans to shove their plea for money.

Winston Churchill: "Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?"

Socialite: "My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course..."

Winston Churchill: "Would you sleep with me for five pounds?"

Socialite: "Mr. Churchll, what kind of woman do you think I am?"

Winston Churchill: "Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price."

 

Salisbury spending bigger sums of money is irrelevant; we're in this position for the same reason as Salisbury - we spent money we didn't have. We couldn't afford to pay the tax bill because we spent it on the team.

You say you wouldn't pay your water bill if you didn't have the money. But I bet you'd manage to go to the pub for a few pints on a Friday evening...

No, things are so tight right now I don't even go to the pub that often now! And that thing about the water bill, there's an element of truth to it!
