Fisher Athletic RIP

End of line for non-league Fisher

Relegated Blue Square South club Fisher Athletic have been officially wound up in the High Court.

Last month the south London non-league outfit were granted 21 days to repay their debt to the Inland Revenue.

"I'm very disappointed for the owners and the people who have worked hard to make this club successful," Fisher chairman Martin Eede told BBC Sport.

"The implications for the future of the club will become clearer over the next few days."

Amazed they have gone under. Ten years ago they were flying up through the non league pyramid.
They used to batter the opposition but now they've had their chips. Perhaps the players were too ill to perform...must have gone down with salmonella

They fought Doggeredly, but with the IR looking to take a German Bight out of their income, they were bound to be Finistered.

There are rumours of a potential rescue by a consortium led by John Scales.

With all the fishers online you'd think they would have enough to stay afloat

Very Sad. They had a great track record for producing young players. Most of their squad left last summer for professional clubs.

Not many clubs named after a person rather than a Plaice.
