We may not be flying high and our board may cop for some criticism but they are keeping our club on a steady if unspectacular even keel.
One point of our Academy as I have told you almost as often as you bleat on about it being a waste of money is that it provides us with players to supplement our first team with players on low wages while they prove themselves worthy of a better contract.
£25 is about the going rate for a football match these days in lower leagues. Football clubs cost money to run and I am not aware they operate as a charity. They have to make money!
