Its Nuneaton Town (formerly Nuneaton Boro) for me.
You may well be right. I'm just pointing out that our main man last year cost 15 million and the punt we have taken this year cost 11million. Perhaps not good enough? The market price is usually a good guide unless your lucky. Oh and that French bloke who alot on here are calling shit already.
The owner is suffering A LOT. The manager not so much. Imagine the thoughts of relegation after pissing north of 200 Mill up the wall. A lot of people wouldn't sleep at night
Used to play against Nuneaton Boro for King's Lynn (early 90s), funnily enough they went bust too and came back as King's Lynn Town.
Who did you play for and in what league.
That would have been just before the time I used to go watch them alot. It was mid nineties for me, the golden age (when we beat Stoke in the FA Cup and got to the Conference).
Kings Lynn were in the Beazer Homes League midland division when i was there , i did have two spells late 80s & early 90s played alongside Andy Hunt who struggled to get a game at first but ended up playing for Newcastle, West Brom & Charlton ! We grew up playing youth football against each other . I left there as i was fed up with all the travelling and joined Bury Town who played in the southern division , first away game Newport (isle of wight)
think they changed the name from Beazer to Dr Martens league at some stage.
Yeah they had a really good few years .
If you think being a promoted team in the Premier League is bad, I always say to people try being a semi-professional team in the Conference.
A lot of clubs struggle with that step up , the standard is very good . I had a couple of season at Ely City in the mid to late 90s and Histon were our main local rivals , they went on to get promoted a few times right up to the Conference but found it a step too far and have slid back down the pyramid i believe. Some big teams at that level to mix with.
Good standard and good players in those days.Kings Lynn were in the Beazer Homes League midland division when i was there , i did have two spells late 80s & early 90s played alongside Andy Hunt who struggled to get a game at first but ended up playing for Newcastle, West Brom & Charlton !

Sounds similar to a team in my league
Remember playing a Rushden Town once , they were in the Beazer Homes midland divison too. As were Forest Green Rovers.
I remember Rushden and Diamonds well.
It was the Dr Martens bloke who owned them i think, that's probably where they got their coin from.
The R&D ground was a proper small stadium unlike Nuneaton Boro’s. It was a tidy small ground with some small conference facilities and the Dr Martins seconds shop at one end. R&D as a club diminished once the Dr Martins business moved to Asia. Had the best pies and no queues at the bar. View from anywhere in ground was decent but football never got above average div 3.
R&D ground was one of the best grounds eventually in L1 or L2, and easily the best in non league
I remember going to Nene Park for a pre season friendly with Forest.
