February 6, 20197 yr That term really does chew at my bollocks Anyhow, seems the raras are feeling a little left out https://www.burytimes.co.uk/news/17413190.bury-fc-pays-debt-to-survive-winding-up-bid-by-taxman-to-be-hit-with-another-winding-up-order-moments-later/
February 6, 20197 yr In modern times when was the last time a professional football club got wound-up never to be seen again? From what i remember Middlesbrough came close in the 80s. Bristol City before them. A few close calls recently but no one has actually gone I may be wrong but i don't think it has happened.

If you mean disappeared, that's more of a challenge But I'm pretty sure clubs have been wound up and started again as a new entity Newport and Aldershot, maybe? Hereford? Or more controversially, Rangers?
February 6, 20197 yr Author Maidstone, another Quite a few above us in the league have got at least as far as admin Leicester, Southampton, Wolves, Brighton Might be wrong about at least one of the above Bristol city?

Hereford? Or more controversially, Rangers? Thats what Im saying. Winding up orders are hardly a story these days. Middlesbrough reinvented themselves in '86. Leicester went through this winding up malarkey, and i think Southampton did too.
February 6, 20197 yr What happened to having to come back as a non-league club the way Wimbledon did? Or was that because MK Dons got their league position?
February 6, 20197 yr What's the worst that can happen to us? Best ground in the Northern Premier League? Balls to HMRC and all the haters.
February 6, 20197 yr Author Just looked and theres a good 10 teams above us who have done the admin thing A couple more than once So next time our snowflakes get all mard, maybe I'll remind them of that

February 6, 20197 yr Scarborough? Just checked wound up 2007. Probably non league at the time though. Edited February 6, 20197 yr by Mounts Kipper
February 7, 20197 yr Been going on for ever this sort of thing; just checked and didn't realise how quickly Accrington (the founder member) disappeared.

There are properly run clubs all the way down the pyramid, the FA give zero fucks that you used to be Bolton Wanderers. Applications for NWCFL have already gone in, it will be over subscribed. Some clubs in areas that aren't as densely populated as the Manc/Liverpool area have started at this level (9/10). We'd be looking at 11 or 12, eg Eagley, Turton, Chew Moor Brook etc.
February 7, 20197 yr Not sure what happened to Workington Town they seemed dissapear early seventies ? In jockland Third Lanark ?
February 7, 20197 yr Workington Town is a rugby league club. Third Lanark are gone, read the Hi Hi book.

Yeh you are right but Workington did have a football league club which some opposing clubs did refer to as 'Town' on their programmes however Workington Afc did not refer to themselves as town Anyway they are alive in the seventh tier apparantly last club to not be re-elected to the football league .No financial shenanigans just a steady decline.They did once beat the dingles 5-1 at Ewood in the league cup .
February 7, 20197 yr Workington are getting decent crowds (400+) given they are potentially on their way out of the NPL. Colls might bypass them.

February 7, 20197 yr Author aye, thick folk probably do think that its not and probably never was and even moreso now as the penalties are much greater

As did Accrington Stanley many years later. And the first ever northern working class FA cup winners didn't last long either...
