Is promotion important ? In light of near extinction stability is first priority and the bigger gates will be helping deal with the debts left by the deserting owner that was. But then up a league and we would receive a bigger cash input from the higher league and larger away followings.
But then at the end of this season many players will have a shock in what is on the table financially should they be offered a new contract. Suspect there will be a bigger clearout than promotion would normally yield. Then of course recruitment will be based on a new budget although as some say season ticket sales will increase hopefully giving the club a boost.
The issue is not just dropping points it is the attitude supporters see when it happens. Give everything and the supporters will be proud of their team, look less than interested then gates will drop.

My view is that it is vitally important for our long term survival (that we go up). The goodwill will soon dissipate when we slide further into anonymity. We’ll have a core of supporters but we’re not a mad passionate local football supporting town. We’re massively out of the spotlight, BBC updates, Sky Ticker, general coverage. Long term it means less attraction for players and fans alike. We’ve watched some great football in the past but a long term stay in this division is not something I would look forward to, the quality is just too shit. Don’t mind consolidating in NL for a bit but NLN is just shit, the refs, the away fan(s) the grounds. It’s quirky for the first season but going to these places for the next 2-5 years – we’ll be down to 1,500 in no time and then we’ll be part time just hanging around these leagues with fat immobile centre forwards who ‘put it about a bit’. I watched last night and thought it was so slow laboured and not very enjoyable, how we’ve fallen so far so quickly, and this squad are supposed to be full time professionals

I miss Bucks. Has he ditched us because we’ve sunk this low?

I don’t think the club needs another non playing staff member adding to wage bill Deerey, but thanks for the thought you know damn well I’d make a better fist of it than the incumbent, The club have run plenty of community days and half filled it with kids in the away end against a team who’s not going to bring many fans if it ain’t
broke don’t try to fix it, no need for us to try and play the big time Charlie and go for the record attendance and then end up looking silly.
The record attendance is attainable but that will come from results on the pitch and not people walking away from grounds being disappointed most week’s.2 users thanked author for this post.
