Before this lot in charge now Macc had that Moss stooge Rob Bickerton (remember him?!) at the helm.

There is a huge difference in attendances between us and only a few others compared with Gateshead and the majority of the National League sides. The private model will never work at this level in the long run unless the owner has a bottomless pit of money to burn.

It's now obvious why the football league don't want more than two teams coming up. They don't want a shell of football club coming up, because if they're not careful they'll start flooding the football league. Until the fair play laws come into play it'll stay the same.

Just look at the teams who've come down : Tranmere, us, Orient, Stockport, Luton, Bristol Rovers etc (I know the last two have gone back up) and compare these proper football clubs with some of the souless pointless clubs (pointless due to not having a fanbase) who've gone up like : Stevenage, Crawley, Forest Green, Cheltenham and I now class Barnet as tinpot. The football league have lost proper clubs to be replaced by joke clubs.

Souless pointless and joke are not the words I would use. Many genuine fans support at grass roots level and will do so regardless of fame or fortune. For a lot of the privately owned non-league club owners it is a ego trip. Dale Vince making his vegan point through media coverage, Fyldes owner who wanted into Blackpool before splashing out at Fylde. Newports lottery winner for example. It is probably the clubs with genuine sugar daddie supporters who cause most problems . Those who have enough money to support the club they love but only in the short term. We will never match the big money sides in this league but we have the best alternative in our well run fan owned model.

It is pointless when you try to create a club that isnt there.
