    Those are like the Isthmian Leagues and stuff right? I mean they should be real cheap but it would have to be located in a place where it has some potential and shows quick promotion opportunities.

    Yea, along with Northern and Southern Premier. There was team dropped to the Norther(I think) due to finances, so I figured the have an alright squad, but lacked backing.


    It stinks we actually started putting legit thought towards this til now, there were quite a few teams in need last spring from the looks of it

    There will be teams in need again. Might be able to swoop in on a team that just misses promotion and might gain into N/S after another one of those clubs goes under.

    Absolutely, I was just looking through the football economy and noticed a lot last year. Just need to find out how much money we actually got to work with

    Looks like this team may be in some trouble?

    The future for Ilkeston Town looks bleak after they were wound up last week over a 50k tax debt. Their match against Redditch yesterday did not go ahead and the receiver has not had any offers for the club as a going concern. Fans are talking of forming a phoenix club.

    The debt related to the time local builder Chek Whyte owned the 116-year old club. The problems were clearly more extensive than manager Kevin Wilson realised as he had been hoping the club would go into administration. He was operating on a playing budget of £150,000.

    The club is taking comfort from the fact that Hyde survived in similar circumstances last year. Certainly, there is a wish in the community to see the club continue.

    Team for sale?

    http://www.harriers.co.uk/page/LeagueTable/0,,10438,00.html

    Blue Square Premiership club Kidderminster Harriers has been put up for sale. Ever since the club was relegated from the Football League in 2005, it has struggled with attendances. The chairman considers that the club would benefit from new investment, as no doubt it would.

    The question is how attractive a prospect a club like Kidderminster is for someone looking to invest in football. Located on the edge of the West Midlands conurbation, it has to compete with the attractions of Premiership clubs such as Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion. Perhaps someone with links with the club or the area might come forward.

    Illkeston is gone.

    Kiddermeister is around 300k or more.

    I'm sure they will be cheaper than even the Blue Square teams
