Trouble with who? Ron won’t be there and a fight is hardly going to break out with the 15 Oxford City fans.

There will probably be a pitch invasion if things go wrong, but i’m not sure that constitutes trouble ,certainly not enough to call the game off in advance.

If things go wrong, the real trouble is far more likely to be at Benfleet Road, not Roots Hall.

Agreed, makes no sense to me.
 
The game could be called off if there was a danger that the power would be cut off, plunging the whole area into darkness.

I can't see the police calling the game off on Tuesday evening because we've been put into administration or, more likely, we don't know what's going to happen on Wednesday.

So why can't they pay the creditors off straight away? I understand that means committing to payment straight away, I am also not sure of the debt amounts to the other creditors but surely it's not as much as the HMRC debt?

If they pay the petitioning creditors in full then the, probably hundreds, of other creditors not part of the WUP may dig their heels in when the new regime takes over and also will want full payment rather than partial payment or instalments. I hate to think of how many people the club owes money to.

Don't get me wrong, the odd bad owner in football isn't uncommon, but the amount of actively bad owners there are in the game at the moment is unfathomable.

The government needs to step in ASAP and stop delaying.

Clubs are starting to feel the cost of Covid now. It was kicked down the road for a while but it is biting now for many, including us. Most of our debts are historic, dating back to that time.
