Anyway, Wartman, there's never in a million years going to be more money next year unless a rich and generous outsider wishes to pump money into the club for no other reason than it warms the cockles of their heart. You've been around as long as I have to know that the budget will not really grow much, if at all. (Let alone the fact that money itself is worth 10% less now than it was last year- sorry, that's politics- apparently they don't connect!). To grow the budget in the short term there are 3 options:
The suggestion above- and I don't believe in fairies.
Large, well-known sponsorship ( and why would they?)
A significant increase in crowd revenue - so we all need to bring a friend on a regular basis and spend money on pies, beer and shirts etc.
