The New Venture Social Club in Beeston Rylands is struggling. The Evening Post carries an
article today telling how Notts County Football Club backed out of a deal to take over the Rylands sport ground. Once all the clubs who played there left and the site became derelict in expectation of great things by the new masters of football, County pulled out of the deal leaving the strugling club with a lease on a derelict piece of land with no income. They could easily go bankrupt over this.
So what does the local Conservative Councillor do to help?
A reliable source tells us that he walked into the pub, beaming like a Cheshire Cat, waving a £100 betting slip for Notts County to win the Championship at 33:1. This bet was clearly placed before Sven took over, the odds then immediately shortened to 3:1. Oh yes and this Councillors involvement with Notts County - Director.
I'm sure the New Venture Club would find a good use for the winnings (or even the £100) - if they're still here next year.
