To us in the real world the club isn’t worth anything. Their shares are worthless, the club has no assets and exists in name only.

When we met with the board earlier in the season as is minuted Jim said ‘have you got £20k’ at which point Yioryos intervened and said he would block that sale when I offered to raise the money to buy him out.

We will be looking to hold a fans forum at the end of the season to discuss our future and the next steps including around forming a break away club given we feel like we’ve exhausted all avenues with this board. I know there is an appetite from a number of key players in making a breakaway club happen but we have to absolutely be sure that it’s the right thing to do and that enough people will help to make it work.

We’ve seen the board literally stick two fingers up at the supporters, it’s been twelve months since the takeover-no plan, no engagement with the fans, no ground, a handful of volunteers left, less than half the AFCW money remaining, low crowds, no marketing, fans staying away-I could go on and on but I think we know what we are getting from this board. The bar was set with the previous board yet it’s now been lowered. They did tell us more than once to ‘go and form your own club.’

I look around at what supporters we have left; some brilliant people with an amazing variety of skills and I think why are we still here putting up with these people that are running the club into the ground. It’s clear they will never have the backing of the majority of supporters, many have stepped back from volunteering roles and many also no longer act as sponsors(through the different formats) or even purchased a season ticket due to the lack of transparency around the clubs finances and confidence in the boards ability to run the club.

Kingston needs a football club and Kingstonian are no longer a Kingston club. I have been contacted by a number of individuals and interested parties who hold the same opinion of many supporters about starting again. Some of these are real business people, people who actually want to make this work for the supporters and the people of Kingston and not just for their own ego and a few of their mates.

Like the old Enfield Kingstonian as we know it could just end up being the board and couple of mates loitering in Combined counties 1, all because they are too arrogant and wanted control rather than exploring the art of the possible for the club they claim to love.

So yes, at the end of the season let’s have that serious discussion about where we go next!
