Ashton United to Appeal

Catching up on news from yesterday evening ... following a board meeting on Monday night, Ashton United have decided to appeal against the ruling in the Marcus Hallows case. Apparently the costs of the appeal will be somewhere in the region of £9,000 ...

Some other costs have been released as well - aparently Marcus Hallows is claiming £32,000 but ... wait for it ... court costs to date are around £90,000 (NINETY THOUSAND POUNDS) - now tell me who the real winners are here .......

If you haven't already - and feel you can - don't forget the petition

Other publicity - some words on the Non-League News 24 website - also letters have been sent to David Heyes (the local Ashton MP) and Gerry Sutcliffe (Sports Minister - who I'm told - via a Chorley contact - had a meeting with a solicitor on this very subject not long ago !) - and there are a few discussion threads doing the rounds on various non-league message boards - this topic is certainly now "out in the open" ...
