Just because Wrexham can attract a thousand or so extra through the gate it doesn't mean the club should attract extra revenue. There are other issues to take into account.
Some here will want a big floodlight allowance next

It's difficult balance to strike whichever way the money is allocated.
Even if the funds were allocated on an average crowd basis, Notts County, Chesterfield, Solihull, Stockport etc would still have to rely on their "Sponsor" providing the difference between the funding and their running costs.
This is one time where we as a club are actually at an advantage, if funds are based on gates, due to our lower running costs.
