113 Years Old and Once More in Danger
Written by Matt B · first published 12/04/2009
113-year-old Margate Football Club is once more in danger.
That's the message from Jeremy Jacobs. In his blog post Margate Super hero he looks back at the glory days of Margate FC and left-half, Bryan Clifton, the man with the hardest shot in non-league football.
The club is hoping to raise the £100,000 it needs by issuing shares but this has left supporters with a number of unanswered questions. Not least of which is what happens if this does not work?
Margate are playing Ramsgate at home tomorrow, the kick off is at 1pm
As I understand it, Margate Football Club will be wound up in the High Court on April 29th, unless it pays a figure rumoured to be in the region £100,000, to HMRC before or on that date. I’m sure the Club’s Chairman, Keith Piper, will do everything he can to save the Club from extinction and with it 113 years of footballing history.
