"In terms of capacity, we’ve had dispensation from the Football League for the last 12 months and they continue to be lenient with us on that."

But for how long? Another embargo, the ownership issue potentially(?) still not resolved, overdue accounts and the club isn't really making particularly positive noises about finishing the work, with O'Neill as good as admitting that the finances are far from on place. How long does he think the Football League will accept his empty promises. Down here the Ryman league and other leagues further down give new clubs a year to sort out the improvements and if they don't, they're relegated. The club must be an embarrasment to the Football League and unless our new chairman (God help us) can start being upfront with everyone, I fear their patience may start to run out. The FL doesn't need ASFC, in fact, from a financial point of view, there must be other clubs with far more to offer.

Here's my challenge to the DON. "Within the next couple of weeks", be upfront with the fans and tell us all exactly how you propose getting the ground onto the state it should have been put in whilst you've been on the board and where the finance for this is coming from.

Perhaps his little spokesman on here (sameoldstory) has the answers?
