The biggest lump of money will be raising the bond to lodge with the bspl i guess as the previous bond will be gone with the previous company going bust 

That and it seems we will need to replace the air fence.

I don't think you'll be the only club looking to replace their air fence?! A number of them bought around the same time are now coming to the end of their natural (10 year?) life.

However if today's rumours are true then Kent should have one going on the cheap!

If the Kent situation is confirmed as true, which seems likely, does make you wonder if some tie up with Len and the Dugards may have been put in the pipeline. Expect MD will know, although probably wouldn't comment one way or another I expect!

Of course, Oxford will also be looking for an air fence, a team and maybe even a promoter??

I know I've just done it, but suppose we shouldn't pick the bones until we know for sure, still don't want to lose another club, especially a local derby.

Len would be an asset to any Club but be great for South and London if he could revive Eastbourne. 

His track preparation skills would come in handy too, as it was awful at Arlington on my first 2 visits in 2021, but  better for the Scunthorpe match when Gerald Richter took over.

Surely if Kent are closing move the show to Eastbourne and open next season.
