Welling saved, Royalists receive a stay of execution

Very good news tonight from Welling Utd, who have raised sufficient funds to pay off the debt owed to HMRC - with a surplus, too, so that "other liabilities" can be addressed.

Almost as good news from Windsor & Eton, who went into last Saturday's match against Hednesford believing it could have been their last but managed to get a 56-day adjournment of their winding-up order.  There is still work to be done; the club will almost certainly enter administration - or at least arrange a CVA, which would also be regarded as an "insolvency event" and would lead to a 10-point deduction.  A player exodus is likely, with striker Dave Chennells expected to leave, for a fee, during the January window.  Goalkeeper Delroy Priddie has already left.

Meanwhile . . . .  the Worksop v Mansfield FA Trophy tie will be played at Ilkeston Town.  That's two clubs without a ground, playing at a ground without a club.
