For NFU to get back to where they were I suggest they move out of NF. Sad, but it seems like the only solution. Somewhere like Beverley would be okay, though I am saying this from no great knowledge of the club or Beverley for that matter. I do know that Beverley is growing rapidly and could support a team in the NL (North)

Not a bad idea.

Oh, Is that right. Perhaps you would like to tell me why it was then that the allams wanted the best seats in the house at Wembley when NFU won the Trophy? Perhaps you can explain what happened after they didn't get their wish granted. Well, I will tell you. The Chairman of the club at the time had been there for over 20 years and steered them to heights no one would ever have envisaged. He was Mr Ferriby and had begged, borrowed and stole to get the club to where they were. Yet the allams wanted the best seats in the house and take the limelight away from all the staff and helpers that had managed to get this club to the heights it did. Well on the Tuesday night after the final, the Chairman resigned stating that his position had become unteenable. The next day the son in law and his wife put the club up for sale and cut the budget. The Chairman had been cast aside like an unwanted piece of shyte. It was allam that cut the funding via the son in law and his daughter, have no doubt about it. But the club amazingly went on to get promotion to the National league. The manager, his staff and some players bailed out to go to Halifax. They did that because they knew what would happen. It was totally unsustainable to keep it there and they were relegated. Now, it seems the budget is down to the bear bones and the situation is that the club will probably finish up going to the Northern Premier league. So please don't tell me it was nothing to do with the allams.

They are spiteful people and always will be.

Well you've got a few things wrong there. Billy Heath didn't bail out, Halifax are a full time professional club who doubled his wages and made him a full time manager, ditto some of the players. Ferriby can't compete with that.

Secondly, Allam isn't allowed to fund another football club in the FA set up, it breaches the rules and would result in heavy fines all round. The money came from Forster. They put the club up for sale when Steve was going through major surgery for a brain related illness and wanted to focus on other things.

It was a shame Les Hare left, but I was told he left because he didn't like the direction the club was going in. The budget hasn't actually changed from last season or the season before, which makes their accomplishments all the more impressive.

Some people want it to be the Allams so badly. But please, feel free fly in the face of all logic and fact. I only spent years down there getting to know everybody, so what the hell do I know?
