I had been planning to be a Dereham fan after Wisbech got relegated to a Mickey Mouse league. Dereham is in the middle of nowhere, and five key players didnt want to travel, and left for eastern clubs like Lowestoft. The manager got sacked over the budget, probably. Dereham were chuffed that they had a good season in the Isthmian north last year, finishing 10th.

There is no rich benefactor, they could not afford to appeal against promotion to the Northern premier league midland division, a significant step up.

The new manager is cheap and has been at the club for fif**** years helping out.

How can something like this happen? Not on, someone is incompetent. Is Dereham in the midlands and northern, errr.... This isnt sport, this is a footballing murder.
