Gillingham and Bromley
Brighton ground shared with us for two seasons in the late 90's. I think Maidstone had been refused ground sharing with Gillingham for a quite a number of reasons, which I will not bore you with, when they were in the financial trouble - so they ended up ground sharing at Dartford.

I remember those days for Brighton. I used to feel sorry for them going from club to club with a begging goal until they got their own stadium, same as Coventy and now both in the Prem

Just imagine if proper ground sharing was the norm, Arsenal and Spurs, Chelsea and Fulham, Man U and Man City, Villa and Birmingham, Sunderland and Newcastle, Liverpool and Maine FC, Everton and Tranmere Rovers

I think our American owners have ambitions, certainly putting money into the club to improve facilities, but sadly lacking knowledge (in my opinion) on the manager/player side of things that has probably cost them dearly. Hopefully next season we'll have overcome these hurdles, otherwise someone has got to pull the plug at some point (surely), clubs are just losing too much money. Although there is High Court action ongoing between Brad and Scally over the initial £7M sale. The last update I saw on it was from over 2 weeks ago, where the Galinsons had to pay a security for Scally's defence costs 'allegedly.' I did see paperwork dated 18th May as proof, there were two sets of costs on there, one for £35k and another for £200k not sure which was going in which direction now but no doubt it will all drag on.

Most of our fans want the owners out after 14 years

First 10 years almost a new Stadium, 6 years in the Prem, two promotions and an FA Cup Final

Last 4 years a complete disaster, BUT without them we could have been in liquidation due the the crooked thieving bastard who lined his own pockets with transfer fees and and the first thing they had to do was pay a Holding Company £2m to avoid a winding up order and Lord Achroft £10m he was conned out of as a loan on the promise of promotion to the Prem

To be fair to him he waited for the Pozzos to be able to afford to repay him and he didn't even want any interest on the £10, just goes to show that not all posh/rich Tories are utter ****s

This has turned into something of a disaster for Qatar.

My eyes must be failing me because it never looked like he touched the guy.
