I worked in Ilkeston in the 1990s and never felt I would be compromised by them playing my 'Robins'. They did. I saw both games and, happily, (for me) the right team won!
A reformed Ilson FC have been given a raw deal over the last 9/10 years by Academy led funding (theoretically). Che Adams and Ash Hunter are outcomes but, suprise suprise, flawed ownership (and some bad luck) means the Club is, again, in deep do-do. Supporters and players have been shafted.
Please read around the topic and share the issues and/or sign the current petition if moved to do so.

(I should add that I have lived and worked in Plymouth for nearly 20 years and my football loyalty remains in tact. I have only ever seen Plymouth play Cheltenham! However, I do care about Ilson.).
Thanks for any support/backing.
Ilkeston united moving forward.
