Apologies as that might not seem directly Argyle related but I couldn't help notice something in the Daily News.

Doncaster Rovers would seem to me to be a well run club - decent stadium, decent management on and off the pitch with a decent squad doing well with aspirations of moving higher.

It was a surprise therefore to see that they're in Court tomorrow morning - Insolvency Court.

A quick look around on the interwebs shows nothing on various supporter group pages about this. Another quick look finds that actually the club owes £7.5m to various creditors - just over £5m is owed to 4 directors.

Now this case could get thrown out for whatever reason as I would imagine that it is probably HMRC chasing a late tax bill.

But on the back of what happened at Bury and Bolton over the summer, could this be a potential third strike?

It also makes me incredibly grateful for the owners that we currently have and their model that they are looking to build on for Argyles future.

It doesn't take much to tip the scales. One minute your club appears to be on the crest of a wave, the next your in the proverbial dog do.

Fans are always kept in the dark until the time comes when they are required to shake buckets in front of turnstiles to save their club.

It turns out whatever the issue was it was settled and the court hearing is just procedural.

Quite a shock this one. As Mike says, it seems these days you only need a blip and you’re on the edge.

How lucky are we? Good owners who have the club at heart.

Let’s cross our fingers it will be that way for a very long time.
