I heard quite a bit about this on local radio yesterday but little from the fans who must be absolutely gutted. The remaining board members have worked their socks off trying to save the club but with a pile of debts and no income coming in it was going to be impossible to persuade the Conference that they could fulfil next season's fixtures, hence the decision to go into liquidation. The supporters trust is hoping to persuade the FA to allow them to enter the pyramid for next season. Where they will play seems uncertain as the ground is on a long-term lease to the club but has charges and mortgages on it tied up with the former chairman's business. Losing Conference status is bad enough but if they have to start again with a new ground life will be very difficult.

Best wishes and the best of luck to everyone at Telford, especially the fans.
