Re: Clubs in trouble
From the BBC........
Southern League club AFC Totton are on the verge of liquidation.
Totton, who in the 2011/12 season earned more than £100,000 from reaching the second round of the FA Cup, are now nearly £200,000 in debt and have not paid their players since January.

Re: Clubs in trouble
Totton have a rescue offer for the facility and club which as I understand it equates to the clubs debt.

Re: Clubs in trouble
That offer has been rejected. The club's trustees are now seeking advice from an insolvency firm.

Re: Clubs in trouble
Being forced away from their ground and ending up in the Conference North has been horrendous for Gloucester, as if their past hasn't been choppy enough financially anyway.
When are we going to know the Southern League fixtures for the upcoming season? Pretty sure it was around mid-July last year but the date was announced in advance. If Totton end up dropping out (like their local paper is suggesting is a possibility) they'll have to re-jig it, I suppose.
