"The Trustees of BUFC can confirm that we have, this evening, withdrawn from the NL with immediate effect. We are unable to fulfil any remaining games and after taking advice financially and from a football perspective we are unable to continue as hoped." The financial advice probably means that it would be cheaper to pay the fine than to see out the rest of the season. Why did they not offer the club up to new owners before resigning . Cant understand it. All options have to be looked at before resigning surely. Going off reports the just upped and left , resigning on the way out.

With those in charge it doesn't really surprise me.
Thats 2 clubs they have effectively ran into the ground over the past 4 years.

I can never understand why these type people are allowed anywhere near a football club, who, does due diligence, is it time for the league, the FA to run the rule over these people?

They have a history of stripping clubs and moving on to the next

Should at least be protocols to stop teams resigning from the league as easy, results will be expunged now so equally it'll mess with other clubs as well. Shades of when Chris Tanner tried to do it at Durham City, when actual UK based volunteers were still running the club. As mentioned on Twitter and FB, where was the final rallying cry? Hebburn did that and thrived, Washington did it as well and while never thriving like Hebburn, have remained stable, have a new home ground and a competent grassroots set up.

I was at a club who offered me a back hander to turn a blind eye to part, or all of a grant and sponsorship deal. I resigned immediately. As in all aspects of life the leaches will find a way.

Can’t even imagine that many own their club / land etc Pretty sure Brandon would own their land, I don't believe they ever played elsewhere from their formation as a works team. I'm pretty sure their youth team plays on another pitch, probably council owned but not sure. I'd also imagine the club, or some part of it would own the clubhouse, so Brandon probably had a few assets in theory. I can see what you mean though, I honestly think Tanner at Durham was just a deluded fantasist. I remember in a podcast some of City's volunteers claiming he thought countless fields in Durham belonged to the club by virtue of them once playing in the city.
