Any fashion conscious folk out there can now vote for our new badge. Mostly fan made efforts, plus an updated version of our last badge. The absolute monstrosity that is option C is currently proving popular.

Basically just him. Mark Blower got under a few people's skin as chairman but I think he had the club's best interests at heart most of the time. Amar was allegedly using the club as a cash cow for his main business. Or at the very least moving money between his different businesses, including...

Not an update as such but just wanted to say how absolutely ecstatic I am about how thing are going at the club, even at this very early stage. In the space of a week Rob Smethurst and Robbie Savage have spoken to the supporters more times then Amar ever did and it's so refreshing to see...

Looks like the best possible outcome! Keeping the ground, local businessmen and fans on the board, and a legend from the old club kept on as manager. This is a phoenix club that all existing Macc fans can properly get behind.

Terrible isn't it. I'm actually ashamed that a loyal servant to the club could be left so badly out of pocket. And the same goes for all the people still owed money. For me following the club was just a hobby but for others their livelihoods were being put at stake and it had to stop. Kind of...

A modern day club legend is Fitzy, the only ever present player in the period where we got to Wembley, won promotion and pulled off a great escape from relegation, and acted as a mouthpiece for the players last season while the club kept silent. A solid defender and comfortable on the ball with...

I once scored an own goal from the centre circle at my local park as a youngster. Safe to say my lifelong dreams of one day playing for Brentford were left in tatters after that mishap.

That's a fair point, and that's why the part of the original punishment was for us to prepare a business plan for the coming season. If we hadn't managed to do that then fair enough, kick us out. But things definitely won't get better if we are relegated to the NL, where our gates will plummet...

This was the line I found really stupid. As if we are going to be financially better off being relegated rather than paying a small fine! If he had just said the sanction was too lenient then fine but implying that relegation is in our best interests just shows that he isn't the voice of reason...

Might sound a bit irrational here but I'm not particularly bothered where we end up for as long as Amar's still around. Would much rather get it over with now and start again than see him slowly kill the club in either NL division. It's terrible for the club's creditors (including fans with...

Whilst I'm pretty much resigned to relegation now, the argument would be that if PPG was done correctly then just having one point suspended would have kept us up. The previous panel were lenient by suspending all four of the points but today's panel went to the opposite extreme by deducting...

Mixed emotions right now, but all of them bad. Mainly anger towards the owner whose negligence has caused all this to happen. Also a bit peeved with the EFL for stitching us up with the PPG but in truth this has been coming for years. It's such a shame because it has sucked all the enjoyment out...

End of the week probably. Today is only the hearing.

They do good chips at Droylsden and for that reason alone I hope they pop up again before too long. Hopefully no more clubs are forced to follow suit.

Technically possible but I'll be optimistic and say it's unlikely. Hitting us with a double relegation on an appeal would be very harsh IMO. Besides, there's no space for us in the north division anyway (barring very late reprieves and lateral movement that is). As for Bury, I can't see the...

A belated well done to Alty - I saw all their play off games and they were deserving winners in all of them. They got a bit lucky against Chester with the sending off (but would likely have won anyway), then gave a very professional performance to comfortably beat a York side lacking fitness...

Apologies, 'demise' was the wrong wording on my part. But the idea is that if Macc 'do a Bury' next season, there is a financial gain for other clubs if Stevenage stayed up instead because they can fulfil their fixtures. So Nixon has a vested interest in preventing us from going bust while we...

It's quite a petulant letter from the SST, and a lot of it is irrelevant, but there are some good points in there too. Culpability of the EFL: EFL are incapable of dealing with appalling owners (Bury, Macc, Wigan). They have been largely unresponsive when the SST has contacted them. It is...

Personally I'd argue that we could in fact afford the players, but the owner kept removing money from the club that should have been used to pay them. I wouldn't call that overspending as such - they are the exact same players we would have had anyway, just they're not being paid! I'd certainly...

Oh I'm worried for sure, but whatever Phil Wallace says won't be what tips the balance. All he will say is the whole "sporting advantage with players they couldn't afford" thing, which isn't a very solid argument. Whatever the outcome ends up being, I don't think Stevenage's self pity will...
