Thanks for that Gaz, however Cambridge need to repay that loan by Dec 22nd or the ground goes, as it was offered by the club as collateral for the loan.
It seems a shame that so many league clubs, relied on, and spent the money yet to be paid by TV companies and the like to try and see their way forward.
If football continues with the way that its going, (with the exception of an elite few) we will end up with a lot of well off players and no clubs.
