Can't help but feel we're making our way down shit creek and the worst is yet to come. We just about broke even last year with a strong average attendance.

We need people through the turnstiles more than ever, but people won't pay money for rubbish, they need something in return. I don't blame any casual fan that is staying away currently, but the problems could be massive further down the line if things don't change.

We were going to sign him up the the same scheme as Rutherford where you top up your wages by doing shifts in B&Q

We clearly don't pay what's required apart from possibly Pearson coupled with a shit coaching setup = Where we've been and where we are.

Any other club in the world would have made big changes.

signings in the summer were a massive disappointment also with the likes of Summerfield, Rutherford and Grant being retained is potentially going to send us down to the Conference North.

Reminds me of Millsys 2nd season here and the crap signings he made. Does anyone check upon these players especially this season with the likes of Bob, Barton and Chambers coming in, who are we not good enough.

We've got nice dragons on the walls in the tunnel area, nice shiny new dugout area, we rent a 2nd Xmas club shop after developing a more than adequate larger club shop at the ground. We out price ourselves for other sports/clubs to use the racecourse ground.

Said for a long time any money made/profit MUST be used on the 1st team squad to get us up and out of this league. To attract better players who will come and sign for more than 1 year to give stability.

We've apparently turned down investment in the past? due to the WST/Club fans owned structure. We take out a ridiculous long lease on the biggest money pit a club can have. Glyndwr were losing money and didn't have to think twice of releasing the racecourse ground back to the club.

Some fans want a nice new kop (great to have when time is right) and pleaded for the lower GUS to be opened. All well and good but this involves extra expense - extra catering staff, extra stewards and the more Cynergy staff in the ground is an added increase in match day costs.

if your talking abourt Arlen Birch then your very much mistaken, offered more money per week than he was on at previous national league club....agent told him he would get a better offer that didn't materialise.

Very much this.

I know every club wastes money on crap but we do seem to be wasting more than our fair share by trying to get a 'squad' of players together and focusing on quantity rather than quality. Losing Bob, Barton and Chambers would more than pay for a Kennedy for example. Lose Rutherford and that Scottish bloke who can't play and that will probably get you a Durrell etc etc. Hardly rocket science.
