Penny Pinching.........

Quoted from Cloudy

Your figures don't take any account of kids, oap's, kids for a quid etc

Which is why I put the words 'rough guess'  

Scunthorpe in League 1 are getting up to a 1,000 less supporters through their gates than ours, how do they manage.

The answer is an ambitious chairman, something we don't have.

Or just a very much richer Chairman.

Where do people think getting a new ground will create more revenue !!!  More fans at Peaks Parkway.......... !!!!  I think not, in my humble opinion if we move grounds I think the crowd will slightly decrease.  The bottom line with this club is that we have a negative thinking Board of Directors (with the exception of the odd one) and until this changes it will always be a wing and a prayer.  Certain fans have rose colorured spectacles that is for sure.  Didn't Fenty say that we would build a squad to mount a challenge in this divison ? I believe our only challenge will be staying in this division, we are quite simply ill equipped at the moment.  Moving grounds !!!  What retail opportunities will exist at Peaks Parkway, moving grounds for us will be just the same as when Notts County did it.  We will move our fan base circa 4-6000, to a ground where we rattle around in.  We can certainly grow as a club, I don't doubt this at all, just not under the current Board.

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56

I am certainly not panicking at this stage but understand[/b] Arnold is on more money at the "chimps" then he was at Grimsby which I have to say is a surpris[b]e. Also understand there was an issue marrying up his desire to work as hairdresser with that of full - time footballer at town which lincoln are not concerned with.

Should find out next trip to the barbers as Nathan will probably be holding the scissors!

Before Bradley moved to closer to Lincoln, would speak to three or four times a week, as our children went to the same school.
Bradley said that Lincoln were going for it, offering two contracts, Lincoln are also paying a % of his rent to live nearer.
He also said it was a big gamble offering longer contracts, which could backfire if they did not get back in the league within 2 years.

Or just a very much richer Chairman.

Not his money though Ginny is it, it's his wifes.

How much has he invested in Scunny?

How is he making more ground on us to getting a new stadium?

Are you saying he is covering the wages due to their low gates?

Why haven't we got a competitive cover for Macca?

It seems to me that Fenty has cheaped out on this current team, and I don't think it is strong enough to keep out of the bottom 10. Competitive budget, I don't think so, I see more excuses coming from the boardroom that this that and another team with urine poor gates have larger budgets.

If he's invested as much in Scunny as he has in racehorses, then that's a fair whack of cash.

I have no idea to be honest.

Brads was round mine yesterday.  We was talking about a few things.  The one thing that surprised me is the training hours etc he said since the cowleys have come in the training is much longer when he was at Alfreton and Town.  They do the normal training but spend a bit extra watching the opposition.  He also said Arnold wanted to stay at town and wanted a 2 yr deal for security as his mrs was due to drop but PH only offered him a 1yr.

They've lost £2m for each of the last two seasons. What has that got them?
