Another one bites the dust

Telford United - one of the most famous non-league football clubs - have gone into liquidation, bringing 132 years of football history to an end though fans are hoping, in the style of Aldershot and Wimbledon, to create a new club - AFC Telford United - to compete at a lower level next year.

It's a real shame for Telford to go, as they were one of the dominant non-league sides of the 1980s - even reaching the 5th round of the FA Cup once - and if the automatic promotion from the Conference to the Football League had come into place a few years earlier, it's quite likely they'd be a league club by now. Hopefully, the new club will be able to repeat the successes of the old one.
