Hitchin Town Fans Forum

My proposal:

1 - Restart in August
2 - mothball clubs until the summer
3- Suspend wages from step 3 downwards for 2021-22
4- Issue bonds/shares in clubs to raise capital
5- Reduce travel costs and pollution by reorganising leagues into smaller, more regional divisions

And when it returns, let's have some realism about money, league structures and club ownership models. Otherwise, the wreckage will be ver...

Hitchin was 5th in the list...quite beautiful book in terms of photography. St. Albans was number three. Number one was Lewes! A book that will prompt great debate - clearly the ranking is very non-league biased, 100 great stadiums judged by non-league groundhopper, perhaps - very difficult to agree...

Thanks Chris for the explanation, of course the SC was independent, I realise that.
Did anyone communicate the folding of the SC to the members, then? I presume not.

Yes, I think the members deserved something better than a footnote - all those years of paying membership fees. The fans do not have any representation now..
