Scunthorpe have managed to bring in someone who will fund them and boost their coffers and they are a much smaller club than us. Same with Lincoln.
They haven't had a 5 star stumbling block in the way. |

I know but some don't see it and keep going on like it's the clubs fault and not some individual. |

Indeed but there is a difference between us and the Scunts and that is recent league status and planning permission for a new ground. Clearly something to invest in other than up until recently non league status and battles with nimbys and nutter councils The gimps well their investor originally committed to 350k per year for 3 years until he got a sniff of FA cup TV money etc. I doubt whether 350k x 3 would drive us as far as we would like to go after settling the debt. Hate to say this but in reality where we sit today are we the biggest club out of the 3? |

They started in this league when Wharton invested £500k to get them moving up the leagues and it took them to the Championship. Their Chairman is the driving force behind the new ground, something we don't have is anyone with driving force, we have tick along and wait for football fortune. I don't disagree about your comment on nimbys and councils but someone who can make things happen and that isn't achieved by sitting on your hands. We are the biggest club without doubt, and also the most successful over our histories. Our given position is down to lack of ambition, drive and determination to succeed. |

I don't see us as the biggest by any stretch of the imagination. Scunny are way ahead of where we are in terms of infrastructure, squad size and ambition. That may be down to a rich benefactor but the only aspect of our club that exceeds theirs is our fans. I would go as far as to say that the Gimps are heading us as well given their recent football fortune. |

And doesn't the fact that Scunny have been bigger than us for so long (2005 was the last time we competed at the same level. 2005!) and that Lincoln look set to overtake us testify to our failure.

£350k per year is exactly the sort of funding that would make a difference imo |

It's not the fans failure, our fans have backed the club when we were up against it, Lincoln and Scunny have never done that, their gates in dark times proved that. |

Oh for the days when we released players and they found a living at Scunny or Lincoln.
