I know all about attendances and that and it's whats on the pitch that matter but how the hell do Hayes & Yeading survive with gates like that tonight. I'm assuming Bath would have had a few there so probably less than 150 home fans!!

I suppose not playing at their own ground doesn't help matters but it does make you think...

Aren't they playing at Woking? Not exactly local, and they don't have that many fans as it is tbf.  But yeah it does make you wonder how they pay wages.

So as long as the fan pay £14.50 each to get in then the wages are paid. Its just that wages are not the only overhead in running a football club!!!!

Add to that the travel expenses as they have no home ground....it's a shame but it all seems rather impractical.
