[quote=&quotDr Bob&quot]I believe only eight votes against the motion are needed for Chester to be allowed to continue to stagger on - and it is not hard to imagine seven clubs as self-interested as Histon. The latest from twohundredpercent

http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=4573

now has Mark Wright involved as well, via his seemingly non-existent PR company which apparently brought the parties together.

The (sorry, one) irony here is that it is probably in Oxford's self-interest to vote to keep Chester going. Assuming we can go and get three points on Saturday, Stevenage took six points offChester but the two games only saw an aggregate 3-0 scoreline, already one fewer than us. Not that KT should vote against, of course.[/quote

I agree - it keeps Luton out the picture as well - that is assuming we beat them of course, haven't we played them before when they were bottom and we were top...............

What you've neglected to mention is that they're only looking at the books from 2005-09, which is essentially pointless as the new company (Chester City 2004 Ltd) only started last summer and so their level of debt won't be included in those books, which would only go up to the CVA at best.

There is a lot I did not mention. Another is that , from what I have read, the lease of the Deva stadium is not with the NewCo.

seems to me that the only way they'll get kicked out is if there is if it inextricably proven that SVSr is involved with the danes - in which case enough chairmen might be sufficiently motivated to do away with them, otherwise no chance

Saying that, them surviving tothe end of the season would probably be the better option for OUFC - keppping Luton at bay for one thing

In terms of whether Saturday's match goes ahead or not, might the vote on Friday be irrelevant? I thought two of the many problems were police refusing to police the match and players refusing to play - because both groups had not been paid. Is this likely to change between now and Saturday?

Oh - why was this vote organised for one day before a scheduled fixture rather than, say, today?

I thought that too but CW said in the post match interview that the Chester players (presumably the youth team, I don't think they have any senior pros left do they?) were preparing as if the match was going ahead and that we would do the same. Perhaps we'll play in a local park.

Because Brian Lee's in charge and he's a complete fool.

Don't think so. I'd be surprised if the Conference teams vote to keep them in. The Conference board have recommended expulsion and my understanding is that the vote is merely to rubber-stamp that recommendation, as per the Conference rules.

Police won't be needed if the Conference make Chester play behind closed doors.

Is the Deva fortified? I suspect a few hundred travelling Oxford supporters will expect to find a way in!

According to BBC Oxford this morning the reason that the meeting is happening today instead of earlier in the week is.................... WAIT FOR IT.........................




Because Brian Lee was on holiday!

You couldn't make it up.............. :twisted:

Oh my. I don't recall the Conference Board checking to see if Mr Ladak was available for the meeting that he got into trouble about.
