Listened to a price of football podcast the other day and it mentioned the cost of getting out of the National League. It said in recent years only Harrogate have managed to turn a profit in getting promoted from there, and then only a very small one.

It did say that Wrexham were probably not the Club with the worst loss in order to achieve promotion, their huge increase in income helped pay for their spending. The biggest loss in recent years was Stockport in the year we went up in the playoffs - they were losing an incredible almost 100k A WEEK that year! Simply staggering levels of cash thrown at it.

I seem to remember the sugar daddy bankrolling them converted loads of loans to shares, wonder if he did that for all the money?

Plenty of clubs have bought their way out of the Conference. Crawley and Fleetwood were two examples from our first stint.

Wrexham’s losses might have been bigger than Stockport‘a if they also had Stockport’s level of live TV coverage…

£100k a week?! F# ck me pink, that is insane.

Surely Town must’ve done ok last season with the cup money and the ST sales?

I have met Stockport's 'sugar daddy' - a quiet, pleasant and unassuming man who bleeds blue and white. He took on the role 'because someone had to and if I hadn't they were going to the wall'.

Even so, the sugar daddy pumping in millions unsustainably tends to end in tears eventually.
