Hardy to save Skeggy F.C.?

[Magic magpie]

It seems that Skeggy fc are about to go bust as the official twitter sent out a tweet declaring that they were turning of the flood lights for good. 

A few minutes later Alan’s Hardy responded with “wtf Dm me” since then there has no further public tweets but the same happend with ilkeston and he's managed to turn that around.

so could Alan Hardy be wanting to acquire another football team and save one of the popular sea side football teams Skeggy fc. 

Has anybody heard any more about this at all .. thoughts guys.?

I did see this tweet yesterday morning, and whilst it would be sad to see Skegness go bust, i'd really rather Alan Hardy just concentrated on Notts County F C.

I think @magpiejue that may be a opinion shared by a few fans at this minute in time.

Totally agree, he didn’t ought to have his finger in too many pies, there’s only one ‘pies he ought to be concerned with.

(see what I did there?)

i dont think hes looking to buy them, maybe he wants to just help them out?

there is a rumour about them having a very big scoreboard too, which could be another reason why he might be more inclined to help them. no idea if this is just a rumour, true or some fans taking the piss out of the situation.

I think it's safe to say that he won't be allowed to purchase another club, I was surprised that he was granted the special permission to buy Ilkeston Town.

He seems genuine about wanting to help other clubs.

This could be him trying to make a donation to keep them afloat or another type of business deal, yet I would be shocked if it was aimed at being another purchase of a football club because the focus is already time consuming I imagine.

God I hope Alan Hardy doesn't buy another club.

Agree,I doubt he's looking to buy. Presumably Skeggy's  problem is financial so there are many ways he could help them depending  on amount of money required short term.A loan,cash injection,arrange a friendly to raise money general advice,etc.

[super_pie]

I hope that he does save them because I have walked past before and it is a decent club.

It's a shame when any club folds but I have visited their website and have read about their history.

I hope Alan Hardy can help them.

[Magic magpie]

It seems that no one from Skeggy has made contact with hardy yet. Despite him trying to reach them

[SouthwestPIE]

It's a nice gesture don't get me wrong but the more he does this, the more people will want things and approach him to save clubs. He's best letting nature run its course.

[Magic magpie]

I think he would be looking at makeing a loan to Skeggy fc to save them or some thing like that 

[AmericanPie]

I would hope his sole focus is on Notts and this is merely a way to assist them in avoiding closure. If he is donating money to save them, he could start with the phone and electricity bills.

[TM1993]

He needs to step back, Alan Hardy can't save every non league team that is about to fold. Skegness is a fairly big town, so why are they failing to attract gates enough to run their club? The new stadium work might have something to do with it.

[Wilfordpie]

I have no opinion if he wants to buy Skegness FC or not, it's Alan's choice what he does with his money.

[CliftonMagpie]

Maybe he wants to build an holiday home there?

[KingMaynard]

It would be horrible to see them go bust but I fail to see how its our chairman's concern. He already has his hobby club in Ilkeston Town.

He has too much on now without adding a third club to his expenditure, I believe this is more an investment or act of goodwill.

I never understood why he let his home town club Eastwood Town die, as a Eastwood lad he should’ve at least tried to save them but perhaps he did and it wasn’t publicised.

Interesting fact, Skegness United formed 2011, likely demise 2018......Skegness Town founded 1947..still going

I thought Skegness only had one club, no wonder Skegness United is going bust with another club doing better - i.e Skegness Town AFC.

This being the case I see no reason why Alan would want to get involved with them, Skegness Town AFC yes - they have a lovely ground but this other club I've never heard of them hence to confusion. I'm sure most never realised it's a different club entirely.

I’m confused maybe he wants the score board

[DangerousSausage]

Some of you are getting your wires crossed - Skegness Town are still going strong in the Northern Counties East League, and are much higher up and more well-established than Skegness United. I think we might have played Skeggy Town in a friendly once.

At that level it's not just money that's a factor - some clubs are struggling to find the volunteers they need to keep going. That's something that cash can't really solve. You can't sustainably pay for staff in the Boston League. It's sad to see any club struggling though, seems to be happening more and more.

If there's two teams, sorry but let them die. Skegness is small enough for one club.
