I watch the games on ITV4 showing old matches, currently covering the 80/81 season, and you see grounds like Barnsley, Notts County recently Mansfield were on and you realise how much all these clubs have invested in and improved their respective grounds. I appreciate Barnsley had a brief flirtation with the Premiership but the others haven’t and it’s the same all over the country. Our newest stand is now 40 years old and doesn’t even go all the way down one side of the pitch.
We continually have threads about new ground and/or rebuilding BP but something does need to happen as the Main & Osmond stands aren’t going to last forever and if they do, eventually, get closed down for safety reasons we will be well and truly in the mire.
If we go down I can envisage the Main being closed to fans if there is another hefty cost to meeting regulatory costs.

So where’s the attraction for someone to invest, if they are to put say £1 million in as an “ investment “ how do they get their money back plus a return.
That is not why people invest in lower league football clubs

He's injured again. Apparently a hamstring tear. Giving him a 3 year deal with his injury record was a ridiculous decision. No blame on the player for signing the contract but it's yet another example of how the increased budget was pïsséd up the wall in the summer.
On the note of injuries, Max Wright has featured in 30 games for Halifax this season, yet we couldn't keep him fit which raises a few questions about our methods.
Absolutely spot on, Vernam was very very very hit and miss with us before even outside of the injury factor and a pretty quick turnover of clubs since he left us with i think similar stories....can he be exciting, make a difference ? Yes he can....but often enough for a 3 yr deal ??? No way.

Lincoln’s gates are dropping like a stone a lot won’t renew season tickets back to 5-6k gates. Losing even more money probably 6 million next year.!

Exactly what I was thinking, I'm a fan when he plays well but it's not often enough for me, plus I reckon he is now seriously injury prone and will be an expensive player that hardly plays and we've had far too many of those.

As will ours...and as will we.......trying to laud it over Lincoln currently is ridiculous , our repsective historical positions have swapped....we are flirting with a third relegation from the League, despite two promotion seasons and an historic cup run we have failed to fully capitalise on each....unlike Lincoln who catapulted themselves up. Remember John Fenty offering their chair advice on how ( or how not to ) to run a football club ? Right now we should be looking at how they have done it and mimicking where practical/ sustainable.....they are deservedly top of the local tree now.... Mind you i wish their fans would fck off from this forum

I said at the time a three year deal for him was a disaster he was never fit last time he was here.

A couple are alright tbf it's just the one who spouts crap . They built on momentum from their Day Cup run (which we have failed to do ) and with the Cowleys originally , then attracted outside investment to the tune of 2 to 3 million each season . About the going rate for mid -range league 1 alongside their relatively decent gates . I think their long term strategy is similiar to our's as it's based on becoming sustainable through player trading .
