Update - Brandon United FC đź”´
The trustees wish to confirm that “Brandon United Football Club” gave notice to the Northern League that it was unable to fulfil its fixtures due to its financial constraints. Subsequently our fixtures have been suspended until 23.12.23 .
Should there be any serious interest to take on the charity / football Club and its creditors then a full proposal detailing how this will be achieved must be received in writing by 5pm on Wednesday 20.12.23.
Should there be no acceptable proposals the Trustees will then make arrangements for its assets to be sold to pay off any creditors.

Seems to be getting left a bit late, surely such a statement should have gone out a few weeks back with the deadline listed? |

Would another club be able to replace them. ie Darlo Town, Leam. Alnwick.
What are the rules, anyone know?

I wonder what business structure Brandon United is. Is it a Limited Company, or limited by guarantee as I cant find it on Companies house, and if its a members club then the members normally would be liable for debt, although in practice this is very hard to pursue. Thats my understanding anyway
I hope they can sort their issues out , I like Brandon

Statement mentions charity. Looks like Charity 1122705 refers and as you would expect they're paying out more than they're getting in.
Sad state of affairs

This allows the FA to relegate from step 6 on a ppg basis. It’s been mentioned on this thread, but there’s another thread on feeder league applicants to step 6. This’ll be announced in the first couple of weeks of January. Alnwick, Grangetown BC and whoever the top placed applicant from the WL that passes the ground grading. |

Thanks Windy... These people should never be allowed any where near a football club ever again. It seems to me either a lack of knowledge or total spite to give this historic club two days to live knowing its not going to happen...  |
