Cheers for that link, frightening stuff really, glad I've never had any real money to invest.

Shame, you could have bought a parking space at Gigg Lane for £10k!

Yep we finished 11 points adrift at the bottom of the league but stayed up in 1996.

Woking were second in the conference and their ground was up to League standards. Stevenage had Barry Hayles banging in the goals for them and their chairman phoned ours and asked for a large payment from us or he said he would sell Hayles and blow the title as a result. He admitted in this call that they knew they had missed the deadline for ground improvements.

When Stevenage sued the football league our chairman produced a tape recording of this blackmail attempt and their case was thrown out.

Was that the owner who dug a trench down the length of their pitch to try and blackmail them after the club changed ownership?
