News Update

[Margate Football Club]

Despite managing to raise over half the money required to settle the debt to HMRC, Margate Football Club has only been given 12 more weeks, by the court, to settle the balance of the amount outstanding.

 

This means that the Directors still have a mammoth task ahead of them, in not only raising this money but also sufficient money to fund a squad to bring us success this coming Season.

 

Up the Gate!

Thanks for update Vicki, at least we are still in business.

[Paul H]

Well I thought that this would have been settled today one way or another. So it looks like this will go on for another 12 weeks.

[BlueGate Alan]

Yea I must admit I thought it would be sorted today one way or other Paul

[MummyBunny]

bloomin ell, thats a lot of cash to find in 12 weeks!!! time to start looking behind the backs of the sofas!!

[BlueGate Alan]

Or get as many people as you can to the pre season games

[seasidesteve]

this just keeps rumbling on and on how will terry now get any decent players to want to join us with the possibility of extinction on the horizon.bloody tragic .

[MummyBunny]

maybe an idea to put forward that we pay slightly more for the pre-season games than just the

[BlueGate Alan]

Put it to the club MummyBunny, Mail them on their official site

[BlueGate Alan]

Steve can see where you are coming from and no it wont be easy, but if anyone can tempt players here I am sure Terry can.

[BlueGate Alan]

Anyway surely it was trying to lure big time players here that got us into a mess in the first place wasnt it?

[Andy .]

I have to agree with SSS on this one and thats a 1st . Weather Terry is here or someone else BGA you have to say to yourself at the end of the day that it has damaged any chances of us getting the players in that TY will be looking for .

The only good thing to come out of it is we are still afloat for the time being and if we stay around to start the season then what sort of player will be left .

 

Going onto the PSF and paying more i would gladly pay

[Coffin Ender]

The tone of the statement seems to suggest the club thought they could get away with not paying the debt in full.

 

Given that the first winding up order on this matter was two years ago, the courts have given us every opportunity to pay. 12 weeks is very lenient treatment. People need to swallow their pride and use that period to build bridges with former directors.

[BlueGate Alan]

Be great to see that happen CE, but sadly I dont think it will

[Cookie]

A temporary sigh of relief from me today.

[Paul H]

I totally agree with you Coffin ender. There is only one man who can sort this out and its gonna take some serious appologies to get him back. Fingers crossed that this does happen for the sake of those long suffering and dedicated supporters.

[geoff pay]
