"In 2006, the club was just over an hour from extinction, having entered administration for the second time in seven years, fortunately, the third offer to creditors was accepted and the club survived."
Lets not forget that awful moment. I really thought the club I loved supporting for so many years was on its way out and despite many clubs non-league and professional within reach I could not look anywhere else, I seriously wondered if my love for the beautiful game was going with the club. For all the moans and groans and I will put my hand up and say I do that too, it's great to have the club 125 years on. COYR
To be fair, going under and starting again (and there were plans in place) actually looked a better option than carrying on under the Majeeds. There was certainly no rejoicing and celebrating when the club was reprieved at the 11th hour. Interesting that the piece said the club “had been saved” when it was posted yesterday, thankfully been changed to something more accurate.
