In the High Court today for a winding up order from HM Customs and Excise...

... Let's hope they pull through - wouldn't want to see another King's Lynn situation. Whenever stories like this come out and I think about the amount of money floating around places like Manchester City, it really is frustrating.
Again, it sounds like the troubles at Ilkeston relate to a period when the club was owned by a previous regime - all sounds too familiar. Hope the club can continue for the sake of its fans.

Hope it's not a bad omen, but I was printing the Golden Goal tickets for this game last night and my printer ran out of toner after the second sheet?

It's now official that they have been wound up, typical from a selfish point of view, Ilkeston was one of my local games.
They only owed £50k it seemed and had a decent repayment plan put forward, but the judge refused this!
Just again shows how close we were to having the same fate.
So in two seasons, we've had Kings Lynn and Newcastle Blue Star go from the Unibond, and now Ilkeston from the Blue Square North. Who's next?
-
Not surprising given the problems they were having even scraping a squad together. Next one to watch is Hinckley...
-
Are Alfreton solvent ?!?
I don't think We are out of the woods yet either . . until we get Ground costs sorted at least .
-
"After a two-minute hearing, court registrar Christine Derrett sealed the club's fate when she said: "I'm sorry, the company is plainly insolvent and I therefore make the final compulsory order."
That has gotta hurt - 2 minutes!!!
-
Ilkeston have appealed the decision, so hopefully there is still light at then end of the tunnel for them.
-
How does this work out in relation to OUR league position? Do we gain from early results? sorry to be heartless.
-
Gainsborough lose 3 points...

I think there are a few ex-Pilgrims playing for Ilkeston. Ryan Clarke and Liam Green spring to mind. A real shame if they can't continue.

Jason Lee, as well.

Goes back to a previous owner (sound familiar) I believe.

It has been alleged the year they got promoted from the Unibond under S&H the players budget was £8K a week!!
Apparantly the wage bill for this season was £3K a week

That was still 3k more than they had

Looking at that table I wouldn't want to be a Hyde F.C. fan right now.

There's two ways of looking at this though. If Ilkeston do disappear, then it'll mean one less relegation space at the end of the season. And that will be good news for a poor side somewhere that would otherwise have gone down. I'd imagine that the likes of Hyde, Redditch, Vauxhall Motors and Gainsborough wouldn't necessarily see the demise of Ilkeston as all bad.

Like your work!
I would have thought the Hyde fans would just be happy to have a club still, much like Durham I tip my hat to them for limping through the season on minimal costs. Maybe be if enough do this and live by their means, then some will survive the season and others will take note and follow suit. That would make non league football a better place.

Again this is slightly heartless but does anyone know what happens in the FA Cup? Are Ilkeston still entered? Does someone in the next round have a bye? Or is there a lucky loser from today's matches?

Presumably they'll have to put them in the draw in case their appeal succeeds. So whoever draws them will get a bye if it doesn't.

Did they play on Saturday?
check the grassy knoll
-
No, their game away to Redditch was postponed.
-
We seemed to have missed yesterdays announcment but as of 13.45 yesterday the receiver officially liquidated The the football club, The club and ground was both emptied and locked up and itfc as a buisness ceased to exist.(no appeal)
-
Bad news and a sad day for football.
-
A very sad day, not least because Ilkeston was one of the closest games to me. Apart from the FA Cup game, it was always a good ground to visit.
A lucky escape for Worksop too - they could have been in trouble if they hadn't moved their "home" games to Retford this year.
If the Ilson fans can get a new club going, maybe (with all our current connections to the old club) we could play a friendly there pre-season next year?
