Cllr Eric Kerry has cause to celebrate. Not only has his football club, although almost bankrupt and saved from the brink, after he sold it to the highest bidder won the championship, but he has collected several thousands of pounds from the bookmakers. Last year when he was a director, he placed a bet on Notts County Football Club to win the championship at 33:1, when no one thought they had a chance. Of course it was fortuitous for him that within days great things happened and they landed Sven Ericsson as manager and the odds immediately shortened. See here for how I reported it at the time.
Now he will enjoy the fruits of his lucky gamble. Perhaps he may even share it with the hapless residents of Beeston who will pay his parking tax without the benefit of his Councillors allowance for good causes. (see here for details)
