Patrick is a local owner but it's a business with a CEO , chairman , academy manager etc etc we employ a hell of a lot of people by comparison with Exeter City , it's a million quid plus annually to run the academy , corporate hospitality to manage , it's not a two bob part time job for enthusiastic supporters two nights a week .

Those days have gone at this level , the growth of the PL has transformed this league into something none of us of my age could have envisaged at one time .

We have to react with the times or we die .

Risk and reward , yeh it can go tyts up I wouldn't ever discount that for one minute .

What choice do we have with Patrick's health other than to go with it .

I get what you're saying mate I really do but the question I keep asking myself is- What is more important in the long term? Competing in the championship whilst this tidal wave passes through football or self sustainability in lg1 yo-yo ing between the divisions and actually having a football club for the future generations to attend?
