@Layo_FH @girasole_l @physrj Worth also remembering that Southall FC are “homeless” because they couldn’t afford to maintain their old ground, just around the corner from where I live.

@Layo_FH @girasole_l @physrj Crikey, you’re on the ball, aren’t you? Southall FC is owned by the local MP’s son (club company registered at MP’s home address), run by MP’s grandson. MP ready for retirement. Mason ambitions to be local MP. See the problem?

@LondonFoodFinds And let’s not forget that when Southall FC, who want the land to build a new stadium, gave up their old stadium because they couldn’t afford to maintain it, they sold it to a property developer.

@P15pm @CASHcampaigners @EalingCouncil @juliangbell @_EalingNews @TBIJ @_petermason @JonBall Exactly! Bell and “the Bolton Plunderer” Nasjarek never stopped complaining about lack of money, and even justified taking developers' money to party in Cannes as it “didn’t cost the taxpayer a penny”.

@AlexCrane33 @Wenlockedge1 @glirarium @annie_shadrake @lizbonnin @WarrenFarmNR @ChrisGPackham @Kaulofthewilduk @yimbychris That’s not quite the full picture.

Club owned by MP’s son.
