It was his FA Cup winner's medal - auctoned in order to help pay the players' wages. They've now not been properly paid for over a year, and the wages outstanding to them exceeds £3M (out of a total debt of £23M).

they didn't average 18000, just the occasional big (for them) crowd against the better sides.

a nice ground? i suppose three-quarters new but small stands. it's a league 1 ground at best.

if we went down to the basement division we would also be back to 6000 crowds.

Why would he sell his FA Cup winner's medal?
Which he didn't by the way.

I read that it was his '86 runners up medal rather than his '84 winners' medal.

No news on his '85 runners up medal (not sure if he played in '89).

Whichever medals he happened to sell, it's absolutely a credit to Reid that he was prepared to go to those lengths to try to help the club. He has been treated disgracefully.

I read that when the club was relegated to League One a couple of years back it had an £8.5 million wage bill, they overstretched and are now paying the dire consequences, and it's difficult to have much sympathy with that.
