It's the rabble on the pitch that matters and the mantle is passed to Keates to assemble his squad.
It's up to Keates, Davies and Darlo to keep the squad fit and motivated.

As a fan owned club, which is run in a very lean way with the minimum possible spent on costs, and the maximum possible spent on the 1st team, I think our fan base is probably our biggest asset.
If we can challenge towards the top, I'd expect to see average crowds pushing towards 6,000 (we saw this in the early days of Mills tenure). This would hugely increase our potential budget and allow us to compete on a more level playing field with the clubs who are "sugar daddy" owned.
What I'm saying is that the potential is there for our club to compete with almost any club in this league financially despite us not having external funding.
