windsor and eton fc closed down

The zamaretto premier division club Windsor & Eton FC (Holdings) Ltd were officially wound up in the High Court today ending any hope of survival for Windsor & Eton FC.

Having decided not to contest the winding up order from HMRC the curtain was finally brought down on the clubs during a hearing this morning.

Club president, commentator Barry Davies, told BBC Berkshire: "The FA doesn't seem to be too generous to the lesser clubs.

"Not enough money in football these days filters down. It's one law for the rich and another for the poor."

He added: "There have been others at a very much higher level who've been bailed out in one fashion or another.

"It's a huge shame because a lot of unknown people will be suffering, people who've given their time for the club."

Former Director Kevin Stott is now working with Crown Estates to ensure transfer of the clubs lease to enable the social facilities to remain open.

Stott is also in the process of putting together plans to resurect the club, under a new name, ready for the start of the 2011/2012 season.
