    What a mess.

    Martin Eede was the manager/chairman of Dulwich, wasn't he? Hopefully this won't impact on them.

    Fishers demise is nothing to do with their current ownership/board.

    Sami Muduroglu took a huge gamble when he threw money at the team for one season.

    As any other non-league person could have told him, the crowds stayed at 150-200 and he subsequently pulled the plug.

    The situation with the old Salter Road ground - unable to sell or redevelop didn't help either.

    Since Xmas 2008 they were officially amateur anyway. No players were paid.

    Not quite sure why this doesn't bother me much...maybe it's the Millsmall factor and the Arif connection some years back.

    Used to go to school with a girl whose old man played for Fisher - not sure of his first name but surname was 'Bayram'. She was f***ing lush.

    Dogan Arif. Hmmmm. Wasn't Malcolm Allison manager once too?
