Interesting news from one of our next opponents. If he's found guilty, how will this affect Fleetwood going forward, as I assume he was been subsidising them?

Fleetwood Town's owner has appeared in court over the mis-selling of energy supply contracts and posting of fake customer comments on websites.
Andrew Pilley, of Thornton Cleveleys, has been charged in relation to alleged fraud and money-laundering.
None of the charges relate to his activities at the football club.
The 51-year-old did not enter a plea to Blackpool magistrates on Wednesday and was bailed to appear before Preston Crown Court on 20 October.

    Thats disappointing... Comments from people on here have always found him to be a decent owner when they've come across him in games against us

    He has been suspected of this in the past, I remember looking into their meteoric rise through the leagues, and the background to how he made his money seemed to be very contentious.

    I wrote a blog post (back when people wrote blogs, now it's twitter threads!) back in the day, which references some of the concerns people had.

    Wasn't he one of the most vocal against RD at the time?
