Football success & disappointment swings in cycles.

Take away the Academy, we lose our U.S.P. and we become one of the smallest clubs in the Football League, no money bags Chairperson to bank roll the club.

Have a look at what has happened to bigger clubs than us (certainly in terms of attendance & income) in the last few years. S****horpe, Oldham about to drop out of the football league. Grimsby only just back up, Wrexham, Stockport & to a lesser extent Chesterfield many years in the National League. Notts County, Southend look to be spending a few years there as well.

What makes us different to those clubs?

Get rid of the Academy at our peril.
