WORCESTER City’s relegation rivals Weymouth face being liquidated unless an agreement with creditors can be reached before the end of the month.

The Terras, bottom of Blue Squ-are South, are more than £800,000 in debt and are trying to push through a Company Voluntary Agreement (CVA) to stay in business.

A vote will take place on Friday, March 26 with 75 per cent of the creditors needing to agree to the deal, which would see nine per cent repaid over a five-year period, for it to happen If approved, it is possible the Football Conference would see the move as akin to going into administration and therefore deduct the Dorset club 10 points.

Weymouth are confident of the agreement going ahead but the reality that they would cease to exist if a deal cannot be reached also remains on the cards.

In the event of them going out of business, the Dorset club’s records would be expunged, meaning teams who have beaten them would lose points and that could have an effect on the St George’s Lane outfit.

City would be deducted three points as a result of their 3-1 victory over the Terras in January but they lost 2-1 at the Wessex Stadium back in August when striker Marco Adaggio, currently on loan at Redditch, scored a penalty.

However, fellow strugglers Lewes would only face losing one point as they drew 1-1 with Weymouth, who have won just four times all season, on the opening day of the campaign and lost to them 3-1 in January.

Terras chairman George Rolls told the Dorset Echo: “If the creditors agree, the club will continue in its guise but will be in a lot healthier position.

“It’s not a pre-cursor to going into administration, it’s a case of doing a deal with the creditors and paying X amount in the pound over a period of five years.

“The club then starts with a clean sheet of paper and we can all move forward and get the club back to where it needs to be.

“If the vote doesn’t go the way we want it to then the club will go into instant liquidation.”

He added: “Administration would have been another option but the advice we got was that a CVA was better.

“Administration is very costly as someone has got to fund it until a buyer is found.”
